Answer 1

Answer:

See the explanation below

Explanation:

Blossom Co. Journal Entries

Date            Details                            DR ($)               CR ($)

June 11        Purchases                      19,000

                   Accounts payable                                 19,000    

                  Being the purchase of merchandise on account

June 15       Account payable                750

                   Return outward                                         750        

                   Being the return of a part of the merchandise purchased

Note:

Blossom Co. returned the goods within 10 days, the full amount of the good returned will be charged to the accounts receivable.

Also, assuming that Blossom Co. within 10 days, it will enjoy 2% discount on the outstanding accounts payable and this will be calculated and recorded as follows:

Cash paid within 10 days = (19,000 - 750) × 98% = 17,885  

Date            Details                            DR ($)               CR ($)

                   Account payable            17,885  

                   Cash                                                          17,885        

                   Being cash paid for the merchandise purchased

However, if it pays after 10 days, the transactions will be as follows:

Cash paid after 10 days but on or before 30th day = 19,000 - 750 = 17,885  

Date            Details                            DR ($)               CR ($)

                   Account payable            18,250  

                   Cash                                                          18,250        

                   Being cash paid for the merchandise purchased
