Explanation:

The journal entries record the sales transactions as they occur.  Cash is debited with the net amount received after deducting the credit card expenses, while the sales revenue account is credited with the full value of the sales transaction.  Since Levine Company uses the perpetual inventory system, the transactions are debited to the cost of goods sold and credited to the inventory account for the costs.
