Question
A company purchased 900 worth of merchandise. On July 12, it paid the full amount due. Assuming the company uses a perpetual inventory system, and records purchases using the gross method, the correct journal entry to record the payment on July 12 is:Multiple ChoiceDebit Merchandise Inventory 2,300.Debit Cash 2,300.Debit Accounts Payable 46; credit Cash 3,200; credit Cash 2,300; credit Cash $2,300.
Solution
The correct journal entry to record the payment on July 12 is: Debit Accounts Payable 2,300.
Here's the step-by-step explanation:
-
The company initially purchased $3,200 of merchandise. This would be recorded as a debit to Merchandise Inventory and a credit to Accounts Payable.
-
On July 7, the company returned 2,300 (900).
-
The terms 2/10, n/30 mean that the company gets a 2% discount if it pays within 10 days. However, the company paid on July 12, which is outside the 10-day discount period. Therefore, no discount is applied.
-
On July 12, the company paid the full amount due of $2,300. This would be recorded as a debit to Accounts Payable and a credit to Cash.
So, the correct answer is: Debit Accounts Payable 2,300.
