LO1
Generally when we sell something we know the price and we have reasonable assurance that we will collect the Account Receivable (otherwise, we wouldnt deliver the goods or render the service in the first place). The key is often performance (or rather its completion and timing). Most of the time, performance has occurred when a customer takes delivery but not always.

The issue in a merchandising company is that you, the accountant, wear two different hats: The Purchaser of Inventory The Seller of Inventory This is because merchandising companies are both: they purchase inventory from suppliers and they sell inventory to their customers.
If you are completing a question, ask yourself: what is my role at this time: Purchaser or Seller?
Lets wear the Purchaser hat first to see what affect these transactions have on the accounting equation.

Baby Room Inc. returns 5 change tables due to defects on April 8. What is the impact on the accounting equation?
Assets
To record returns you simply reverse the original entry: If originally purchased for cash: Assets + (cash) Assets - (inventory) If purchased on account: Liabilities - (accounts payable) Assets (inventory)
In
order to encourage early payment of accounts some companies provide terms These terms relate to how much needs to be paid and when. Example: 2/10, n/30 means: Pay within 10 days, get a 2% discount on the purchase price If you choose not to pay within 10 days, you must pay the n = net amount by the 30th day.
To record payments to suppliers, you have to consider if the buyer has taken advantage of the terms. If paying NET amount (no discount taken): Liabilities - (accounts payable) Assets (cash)
If paying DISCOUNTED amount (pay within 10 days) how would your entry change?
3.
FIRST, determine correct accounts payable amount (go back to original entry and deduct any returns). SECOND, determine what the last date to take the discount was (add # of days to the DAY that the original shipment was received). THEN, determine the amount that you need to pay the supplier.

FIRST, original purchase was 50 @ $120 = $6,000. There were returns of 5 @ $120 = $600. Therefore, the total amount is $5,400 in A/P. SECOND, the last day to take the discount is April 3 plus 10 days = April 13th. They are paying on April 12 so they can take the discount. Amount that should be paid is $5,400 * 98% (as they get 2% discount) which is $5,292.

Baby Room Inc. sells 6 change tables on April 7 for $256 each, terms 1/10, n/45. The change tables were shipped FOB Destination. What is the impact on the accounting equation? Assets = Liabilities + Shareholders Equity
Sales always have 2 entries: 1. Sales entry at the selling price to the Sales account. 2. Cost entry at the cost of inventory to the Cost of goods sold account.
Sell inventory sales entry @ the selling price: Assets + (cash or A/R) Revenues + (Sales) Sell inventory cost entry @ the cost of inventory: Assets - (inventory) Expenses + (cost of goods sold)
Note that when we sell our inventory there are 2 entries a sales entry at the price we sold the inventory for and a cost entry at the original price we paid for the inventory.
