Answer:

a debit to Accounts Payable for $1,400 and a $1,400 credit to Purchase Returns allowances

Explanation:

Periodic inventory system is one that updates information on inventory on a periodic basis. This is opposite of perpetual inventory system that requires update of inventory system at all times.

In the scenario the merchandiser bought the goods on account. That means he did not pay cash but rather bought on credit.

On purchasing the items accounts payable will be credited thereby increasing the account balance.

Since the items are being returned a debit will be applied to accounts payable resulting in a decrease in the account balance.

A credit will now be posted to purchase returns allowances to show that products have been returned by a buyer

Giving the following information:

Total Per Unit Sales (37,000 units at $6) $ 222,000

Variable expenses 111,000 ($3.00)

Contribution margin 111,000 ($ 3.00)

Fixed expenses 41,000

Net operating income $ 70,000

1) sales increase by 12%

Income= contribution margin* 1.12 - fixed expenses= 111,000*1.12 - 41,000= 83,320

2) selling price decreases by $1.30 per unit and the number of units sold increased by 19%.

Income= (37000*1.19)*(4.7-3) - 41,000= 33,851

3) the selling price increases by $1.30 per unit, fixed expenses increase by $6,000, and the number of units sold decreased by 7%

Income= (37000*0.93)*(7.30-3) - 47000= $100,963

4) the selling price per unit increases by 20%, variable expenses increase by 20 cents per unit, and the number of units sold decreased by 13%

Income= (37000*0.87)*(7.2-3.2) - 41000= $87,760
