Accounts Payable   $7,900  Credit    

     

• 5 Returned goods costing $3,000 to Diamond Inc. for credit on account.

Merchandise    $3,000  Credit    

     

• 6 Purchased goods from Club Corp. for $1,950 with terms 2/10, n/30.          

Merchandise            $1,950  Debit    

Accounts Payable   $1,950  Credit    

     

• 11 Paid the balance owed to Diamond Inc.          

Accounts Payable   $4,900  Debit

Explanation:

First recorded the journal entry of the purchased merchandise.

• June 3 Purchased goods for $7,900 from Diamond Inc. with terms 2/10, n/30.              

Merchandise            $7,900  Debit    

Accounts Payable   $7,900  Credit    

When merchandise is returned, we make the opposite entry      

• 5 Returned goods costing $3,000 to Diamond Inc. for credit on account.            

Accounts Payable   $3,000  Debit    

Merchandise    $3,000  Credit    

 

It's recorded again the journal entry of the purchased merchandise.  

• 6 Purchased goods from Club Corp. for $1,950 with terms 2/10, n/30.          

Merchandise            $1,950  Debit    

Accounts Payable   $1,950  Credit    

When the balance is paid it's necessary to register de discount availabe becuase the payment was within 10 days, 2/10.      

• 11 Paid the balance owed to Diamond Inc.          

Accounts Payable   $4,900  Debit    

Merchandise    $98   Credit    

Cash                 $4,802  Credit    

In the case of Club Corp the paid is in full because it's out of the discount period.

• 22 Paid Club Corp. in full.            

Accounts Payable  $1.950  Debit    

Cash                     $1.950  Credit
