Solution
The correct answer is: Debit Accounts Payable 100.
Here's the step-by-step explanation:
-
When X-Mart receives an allowance, it means that the amount they owe to their supplier (Accounts Payable) decreases. So, they need to debit (decrease) their Accounts Payable.
-
The reason for the allowance is the poor quality of the merchandise. This means that the value of the merchandise they have in their inventory is less than what they initially recorded. So, they need to credit (decrease) their Merchandise Inventory.
Therefore, the journal entry would be: Debit Accounts Payable 100.
