Answer 1

Answer:

Crane Company journals:

Inventory  9000

Accounts Payable  9000

--to record purchase--  

Inventory  550

Cash                   550

--to record payment of freights--  

Accounts Payable 350

Inventory            350

--to record returned goods--  

Accounts Payable  8650

Inventory             173

Cash                  8477

--to record payment within discount--  

Explanation:

at purchase we take a liability with the supplier, then the return goods decrease our liability as we are liable for a lower amount.

At payment date:

account balance:

9,000 nominal -  350 return = 8,650

discount:

8,650 nominal x 2% = 173

net: 8,650 nominal - 173 discount = 8,77
