Cevap

Credit sales of trading goods match the Sales Journal (net of trade discount). Goods returned by credit customers match the Sales Returns Journal (supported by a credit note). Credit sales of fixed assets match the General Journal. The periodic total of the Sales Returns Journal is debited to the Sales Returns Account in the General Ledger.
Each item matches its corresponding accounting rule: credit inventory sales net of trade discount belong in the Sales Journal; customer returns supported by credit notes belong in the Sales Returns Journal; credit sales of non-current assets belong in the General Journal; and the periodic total of sales returns is debited to the Sales Returns Account in the General Ledger.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the nature of the transaction in the first item (credit sale of inventory with trade discount).
Trading inventory sold on credit belongs in the Sales Journal. Trade discount must be deducted from list price prior to recording.
The Sales Journal only captures credit sales of merchandise at net invoice price.
2
Identify the source document and journal for returned goods from credit customers.
Returns inward are recorded in the Sales Returns Journal using a Credit Note issued to the buyer.
Credit notes reduce the amount owed by debtors and serve as primary evidence for returns inward entries.
3
Distinguish between trading inventory and capital asset disposals on credit.
Credit sales of non-current assets like office equipment belong in the General Journal (Journal Proper).
Sales journals are reserved exclusively for goods intended for resale.
4
Determine the General Ledger double-entry rule for the Sales Returns Journal total.
The total is debited to the Sales Returns (Returns Inward) Account.
Sales returns reduce gross sales income, requiring a debit entry in the returns account, while individual customer accounts in the personal ledger are credited.
