Under the perpetual system, inventory is recorded and updated continuously that is after each purchase and sale.
1) since its purchase accounts have to be updated immediately. And 3/10,n/30 means 3 percent discount will be given if payment is made within 10 days and no discount after that and maximum duration to pay is 30 days.
In the beginning, we dont know when we will be making payment sot its recorded at full value.
2nd IS CORRECT so OPTION C is right answer
Merchandising inventory | 8750 | |
Accounts payable | 8750 | |
(To record purchase of inventory on account |
2) Since payment is not paid in 3 days so inventory return will be recorded at full cost.

Merchandising inventory | 380 | |
(To record return of inventory) |
