Explanation:

1. Purchase of books on account increases inventory and Accounts Payable.

2. Sale of books on account increases Sales and Accounts Receivable.  It also reduces the Inventory Account and increases the Cost of Sales.

3. Return on Purchases reverses the entries made when goods were purchased.

4. Since Garfunkel Bookstore paid after 10 days, it could not enjoy the 2% cash discount on offer.

5. Bell Tower paid within 10 days and enjoyed the 2% cash discount.

6. Priceless Book Publishers was paid within 15 days, so the 3% cash discount applies.

7. Return on Sales reverses the entries during sales.  |t reduces Sales by a contra account called Sales Returns and the Accounts Receivable.  The inventory account is increased and the Cost of Sales is reduced.

8.  Journal entries record the daily transactions of a business as they occur.  From the general journal, postings are made to the Ledger.
