Answer:
debit Accounts Payable $800; credit Merchandise Inventory $16; and credit Cash $784
Explanation:
Since Jello's Market purchased $1,000 of goods on account with terms of 2/10,n/30, and they returned $200 of the goods due to defect the next day.
Since the goods are paid fr the next day, if falls within the settlement for discount date which is 2% within 10 days
If Jello pays for the purchase within the discount period and uses the perpetual inventory system, the required journal entry to record the payment would: debit Accounts Payable $800; credit Merchandise Inventory $16; and credit Cash $784.
This would be the case because accounts payable account would have been credited since the goods were not bought for cash but on account, and the would be $1000 less $200 returns, which is $800.
The discount of 2% x (1000 - 200 returns) would be $16 and posted directly to inventory, since it is a perpetual inventory system.
The actual amount paid is credited to cash, which is $1000 - $200 returns - $16 discount
