Know the Answer?

Kylie Lloyd · Answer 1

The correct answer is A

Explanation:

The journal entry for the following is as follows:

August 9 Accounts Payable A/c ... Dr $4,200

Inventory A/c ... Dr $84

To Cash A/c ... Cr $4,116

Working Note:

On August 5, the amount of $600 goods returns from customer, so the remaining balance is

= $4,800 - $600

= $4,200

On the remaining balance, the discount which is evaluated as the payment is received within the discount period which is August 9. So,

= $4,200 x (100% - 2%)

= $ 4,200 x 98%

= $ 4,116

Discount = Amount - Payment amount

= $4,200 - $4,116

= $84
