Question

Platen purchased inventory on August 17 and received an invoice with a list price amount of $5,900 and payment terms of 4/10, n/30. Platen uses the net method to record purchases. For what amount should Platen record the purchase

Answer 1

Answer:

$5,664

Explanation:

Calculation of the amount that Platen should record the purchase.

Using this formula

List price -(Percentage of payment term × list price)

Let plug in the formula

$5,900 -(4%×5,900 )

=$5,900-$236

=$5,664

Therefore Platen should record the purchase on August 17 as a:

Debit to Purchases (periodic system) and a Credit to Accounts Payable for $5,664

Therefore the amount that Platen should record the purchase will be $5,664
