Answer and Explanation:
The adjusting journal entries are as follows
1. Sales $97,650
To Customer refunds payable $97,650
(Being the sales return is recorded)
For recording this we debited the sales as it reduced the sales and credited the customer refund payable as it increased the liabilities
2. Estimated Returns inventory $48,100
To Cost of goods sold $48,100
(Being the merchandise return is recorded)
For recording this we debited the estimated returns inventory and credited the cost of goods sold
3. Cost of goods sold $9,600
To Inventory $9,600
(Being the inventory shrinkage is recorded)
For recording this we debited the cost of goods sold as it increased the expenses and credited the inventory as it reduced the assets
The computation is shown below:
= Balance of inventory account - physical inventory merchandise on hand
= $673,400 - $663,800
= $9,600
