A company purchased $1,800 of merchandise on July 5 with terms 2/10, n/30. On July 7, it returned $200 worth of merchandise. On July 28, it paid the full amount due. Assuming the company uses a perpetual inventory system, and records purchases using the gross method, the correct journal entry to record the merchandise return on July 7 is:
Debit Merchandise Inventory $200; credit Accounts Payable $200.
Debit Merchandise Inventory $200; credit Sales Returns $200.
Debit Accounts Payable $1,800; credit Purchase Returns $200; credit Merchandise Inventory $1,600.
Debit Merchandise Inventory $1,600; credit Cash $1,600.
Debit Accounts Payable $200; credit Merchandise Inventory $2
Answer is Option E)
Debit Account Payable $200
Credit Merchandise Inventory $200
Accounts payable has been reduced and Inventory is credited at $200 ( Since Gross method is followed )
