May 5 Allied sold 1,000 of the units in inventory for $12 per unit (invoice total: $12,000) to Macy Company under credit terms 2/10, n/60. The goods cost Allied $8,000. May 7 Macy returns 100 units because they did not fit the customer's needs (invoice amount: $1,200). Allied restores the units, which cost $800, to its inventory. May 8 Macy discovers that 100 units are scuffed but are still of use and, therefore, keeps the units. Allied gives a price reduction (allowance) and credits Macy's accounts receivable for $400 to compensate for the damage. May 15 Allied receives payment from Macy for the amount owed on the May 5 purchase; payment is net of returns, allowances, and any cash discount.
