Journal 1

Revenue is being recognized on sale of Merchandise to Cullumber Co.Since this is not a credit transaction ( the merchandise was sold on credit 2/10, n/30), we recognize an Asset in the Account Receivable - Cullumber for future economic benefits expected to flow to Oriole.

Journal 2

Company uses perpetual inventory system. Which means cost of merchandise is recorded at each sale and not after a certain period (periodic).Thus cost of merchandise is matched to the revenue.Note that Merchandise Account is decreasing (Credit) while the Cost od Sale is increasing (Debit)

Journal 3

The Asset element in the Account Receivable - Cullumber is decreasing due to allowance granted to them.Therefore Culumber is credited.An expense account - Discount Allowed has been created to reflect a decrease in future economic benefit due to grant of the allowance.

Journal 4

The Recognition of Payment through Bank or Cash. Asset of Cash or Bank are increasing as a result of the payment while assets of Accounts Receivable are decreasing due to Cullumber Co. settling their debt. The settled amount is net of allowance granted to them $469300 (492200-22900)
