Journalize these transactions from the buyer's perspective. Discounts are taken on the amount owed to the seller, except for any freight costs.

Oct. 1, 3, 4, 19, & 20: Using the perpetual inventory system, purchases of inventory on account are recorded by debiting the merchandise inventory account and crediting the accounts payable account. Under FOB shipping point, freight is paid by the buyer, while FOB destination freight is the seller's expense. Often freight must be prepaid for the carrier to deliver.

Oct. 6: Any discounts or returns are recorded directly by the buyer who debits Accounts Payable and credits Merchandise Inventory, basically reversing what was done in recording the purchase.

Oct. 19: Freight expense increases the cost of the merchandise. However, freight is typically prepaid in cash.

Oct. 13: Since the invoice is paid within the discount period, the cash paid on account is the difference between the invoice and the discount.

Oct. 14: Returns are not eligible for discounts. Since the invoice is paid within the discount period, Accounts Payable is debited for the balance in the account. The cash paid on account is the difference between the invoice and the discount, less the returns.

Oct. 30: Since the invoice is paid within the discount period, the cash paid on account is the difference between the invoice and the discount.

Oct. 31 (UK Imports & Veggie): Since no discounts are allowed, no discounts are recorded. The cash paid on account in each case is equal to the invoice.
