              Dr Merchandise inventory  $936

              Cr Cost of goods sold                     $936

Explanation:

In the first place,the goods sold for cash of $14,000 means that cash account is debited and sales is credited with $14,000

However,with respect to cost of goods sold,there would a debit of $8,400 and credit of the same amount  to merchandise inventory.

The goods returned returned would necessitate debit of sales return with $1,560 and credit to cash of the same amount.

The cost of goods returned  is $936  ($1,560*$8400/$14,000) should debited to merchandise inventory and a credit to costs of good sold
