Smith Company sold merchandise in the amount of $5,800 to Batter Company on September 1, with credit terms of 2/10, n/30. The cost of the merchandise is $2,400. On September 4, Batter Company returns some of the merchandise, which were put back into Smith's inventory. The selling price and the cost of the returned merchandise are $800 and $500, respectively. (Assume both companies use the perpetual inventory method.) Batter Company's journal entry on September 8, when they pay the amount due, will include:
A) Credit Cash $5,194
B) Credit Sales Discounts $100
C) Debit Accounts Payable $5,000
D) Credit Purchase Discounts $100
The answer will be option "C" i.e. debit accounts payable $5,000
Explanation: Here amount due = purchase - returns
= 5800 - 800 = $5,000
Discount = 2% of $5,000 = $100
Net amount payable = 5,000 - 100 = 4,900
The journal entry for this will be:
Dr | Cr | |
Accounts payable | 5,000 | |
Cash | 4,900 | |
Inventory | 100 |
