Solution

The answer is A. debit Accounts payable & credit Inventory.

Here's the step-by-step explanation:

A. This option is correct. When goods are returned to the supplier, the company no longer owes the supplier for those goods, so Accounts payable (a liability account) is debited (decreased). Also, because the goods are no longer in the company's inventory, Inventory (an asset account) is credited (decreased).

B. This option is incorrect because Cash is not involved in the transaction. The goods were purchased on credit, not with cash.

C. This option is incorrect because it suggests that Inventory should be debited (increased), but in fact, the company's inventory decreases when goods are returned to the supplier.

D. This option is incorrect because Sales is not involved in the transaction. The goods were returned to the supplier, not sold.

Therefore, the correct answer is A. debit Accounts payable & credit Inventory.
