Solution

To demonstrate the required journal entry on X-Mart's books for the allowance, assuming the perpetual inventory method, follow these steps:

  1. Identify the accounts involved:

    • Accounts Payable (liability account)
    • Merchandise Inventory (asset account)
  2. Determine the nature of the transaction:

    • X-Mart received an allowance due to poor quality merchandise, which means the value of the inventory should be reduced, and the liability (Accounts Payable) should also be reduced.
  3. Record the journal entry:

    • Debit Accounts Payable to decrease the liability.
    • Credit Merchandise Inventory to decrease the asset.

The correct journal entry is: Debit Accounts Payable 100;creditMerchandiseInventory100; credit Merchandise Inventory 100.
