Wiseman Company purchased merchandise on account from a supplier for $85,000, terms 1/10, n/30. Wiseman Company returned $9,800 of the merchandise and received full credit.
A) If Wiseman Company pays the invoice within the discount period, what is the amount of cash required for the payment?
B) What account is debited by Wiseman Company to record the return?
A.
Purchase = $85,000
Purchase returns = $9,800
Discount terms = 1/10, n/30
Final amount due = Purchase- Purchase returns
= 85,000-98,00
= $75,200
Purchase discount = Final amount due x Purchase discount rate
= 75,200 x 1%
= $752
Cash payment = Final amount due- Purchase discount
= 75,200-752
= $74,448
The amount of cash required for the payment $74,448
B.
Wiseman company will debit accounts payable when it return the goods.
