Question

Assuming Horton uses the perpetual inventory system and the net method of accounting for purchase discounts, what amount is recorded as inventory from this purchase?a. $13,580b. $13,300c. $13,167d. $13,447

Answer 1

Answer:

C) $13,167

Explanation:

Since the sales was made FOB destination, the freight charges were included in the invoice, so the total purchase was $13,300.

Horton uses the net method of accounting for purchase discounts, so it will always record the inventory purchases with the applicable discount whether they received them or not.

$13,300 x 99% = $13,167

Since Horton was unable to pay in time, the $133 discount is recorded as a discount lost (expense account).
