The total amount entered into the Purchases Journal is ₦325,000.
The Purchases Journal is used exclusively to record credit purchases of goods meant for resale. Trade discounts are subtracted before entering figures into the journal. Here, net credit purchases are ₦135,000\text{₦}135,000 (June 4) plus ₦190,000\text{₦}190,000 (June 18), giving ₦325,000\text{₦}325,000. Office furniture and computer equipment are capital items recorded in the General Journal, while cash purchases are entered in the Cash Book.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify transactions eligible for the Purchases Journal
Only credit purchases of merchandise intended for resale (June 4 and June 18) are included.
The Purchases Journal strictly records credit purchases of goods for resale. Credit purchases of fixed assets (June 10 and June 22) go to the General Journal, and cash purchases (June 27) go to the Cash Book.
2
Calculate the net price for the June 4 transaction
₦150,000−(10%×₦150,000)=₦135,000\text{₦}150,000 - (10\% \times \text{₦}150,000) = \text{₦}135,000
Trade discounts are deducted immediately from the invoice price before recording in the day book.
3
Calculate the net price for the June 18 transaction
₦200,000−(5%×₦200,000)=₦190,000\text{₦}200,000 - (5\% \times \text{₦}200,000) = \text{₦}190,000
Trade discount must be subtracted to arrive at net credit purchases.
4
Sum the eligible net credit purchases
₦135,000+₦190,000=₦325,000\text{₦}135,000 + \text{₦}190,000 = \text{₦}325,000
The Purchases Journal total reflects net credit purchases of inventory for the month.
