Question

Sold inventory with a list price of $22,000 to M Jagger on credit.

Accepted a sales return from M Jagger for half of the inventory purchased (i.e., list price of $11,000); And M Jagger paid for the remainder in cash.

sold inventory to H Gilmore for $100,000 on credit

H Gilmore paid half of the amount owed

H Gilmore went bankrupt so Kuechly wrote off the balance owed by H Gilmore as uncollectible (hint: Directly write-off this Account since no allowance has been made yet).
