Zoe Meyers · Answer 1

Accounts payable Dr, $16,800

Purchase discount Dr, $336

To Cash $16,464

Explanation:

The Journal entry is shown below:-

Accounts payable Dr, $16,800

Purchase discount Dr, $336

To Cash $16,464

(Being Cash is recorded)

Working Note : -

List price of goods after return = $19,200 - 2400

= $16,800

Discount on balance = 16800 * 0.02

= $336

For recording the cash we simply debited accounts payable, purchase discount and credited the cash
