Answer:
The Journal entries are as follows:
(a) On November 5,
Merchandise inventory A/c Dr. $6,000
To Accounts payable $6,000
(To record the purchasing of Merchandise inventory)
(b) On November 7,
Accounts payable A/c Dr. $250
To Merchandise inventory $250
(To record the returned units)
(c) On November 15,
Accounts payable A/c Dr. $5,750
To cash $5,635
To Merchandise inventory $115
Workings:
Final amount due:
= Cost of goods purchased - Cost of goods returned
= 6,000 - 250
= $5,750
Discount amount:
= Final amount due × Discount percentage
= 5,750 × 2/100
= $115
Cash payment to be made:
= Final amount due - Discount amount
= 5,750 - 115
= $5,635
