Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The journal entries are shown below:

a. Merchandise Inventory A/c $8,190

              To Accounts payable A/c $8,190

(Being goods purchased on credit)

The computation after applying discount is shown below:

= Purchase amount - purchase amount × trade discount percentage

= $9,100 - $9,100 × 10%

= $9,100 - $910

= $8,190

b. Accounts payable A/c $2,610

     To Merchandise Inventory A/c $2,610

(Being goods returned is recorded)

The computation after applying discount is shown below:

= Purchase amount - purchase amount × trade discount percentage

= $2,900 - $2,900 × 10%

= $2,900 - $290

= $2,610

c. Accounts payable A/c Dr $5,580 ($8,190  - $2,610)

      To Cash A/c   $5,412.60                      

      To Merchandise Inventory A/c $167.40  ($8,190  - $2,610) × 3%

(Being due amount is paid and remaining balance is credited to the cash account)
