Inventory Dr.$5,790

Accounts Payable Cr.$5,790

(To record purchase of inventory on credit basis)

No Entry for Cost to Marin Company i. e $3,520 we are doing accounting for cullumber

Accounts Payable Dr.$920

Inventory Cr.$920

(To record purchase return)

No entry for Scrap Value i. e $340

Explanation:

Under perpetual inventory system, the records are update regularly for every sales and purchase accounting transaction as compared to periodic inventory where at year end accounts are updated.

No entry is required for marin cost as we will record only our purchase price for cullumber company. Scrap value is also irrelevant as we are not selling to marin rather returning the inventory we purchased from it.
