Question

Kelly’s Jewelry has the following transactions during the year: total jewelry sales = $640,000; sales discounts = $14,500; sales returns = $39,000; sales allowances = $19,000. In addition, at the end of the year the company estimates the following transactions associated with jewelry sales in the current year will occur next year: sales discounts = $1,450; sales returns = $4,680; sales allowances = $2,530. Compute net sales.

Answer 1

Answer:

$559,020

Explanation:

The computation of net sales is shown below:-

Total sales = $640,000

Sales discount = $14,500 + $1,450

= $15,950

Sales return = $39,000 + $4,680

= $43,680

Sales allowance = $19,000 + $2,530

= $21,350

So,

Net sales = Total sales - Sales discount - Sales return - Sales allowance

= $640,000 - $15,950 - $43,680 - $21,350

= $559,020

Therefore for computing the net sales we simply applied the above formula.
