Explanation of Solution

Prepare the journal entry to record the sale of merchandise on account:

Date	Accounts title and explanation	Debit ($)	Credit ($)
February 9	Accounts receivable (Company SM)	10,000
	Sales		10,000
	(To record the sale made to Company SM on account)

Table (1)

	Inventory		6,000
	(To record the cost of goods sold)

Table (2)

• Cost of goods sold is an expense account and it decreases the stockholders’ equity. Therefore, debit cost of goods sold with $6,000.
• Inventory is an asset account and it is decreased. Therefore, credit inventory with $6,000.

Prepare the journal entry to record the delivery expenses:

ate	Accounts title and explanation	Debit ($)	Credit ($)

	Accounts receivable (Company SM)		10,000
	(To record the sales returns and allowances from Company SM)

Table (4)

• Sales returns and allowance are the contra-revenue account which decreases the amount of revenue. Therefore, debit sales discounts with $1,000.

Prepare the journal entry to record the cost of goods sold for the returned goods:

Date	Accounts title and explanation	Debit ($)	Credit ($)
February 13	Inventory $\left(10\text{Pairs}\times \text{\$60Per pair}\right)$	600
	Cost of goods sold		600
	(To record the reduction in the cost of goods sold for the returned goods)

Table (5)

• Inventory is an asset account and it is increased. Therefore, debit inventory account with $600.
• Cost of goods sold is an expense account and it is decreased. Therefore, credit cost of goods sold with $600.

Prepare the journal entry to record the collection of accounts receivable within the discount period:

Date	Accounts title and explanation	Debit ($)	Credit ($)
February 19	Cash $\left(9,000\times 99\%\right)$	8,910

February 9	Inventory	9,900
	Accounts payable (Company SS) (1)		9,900
	(To record the purchase made from Company GW)

Table (7)

Working note:

Calculate the amount of accounts payable:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Accounts payable to Company SS}=\text{Purchase price}-\left(\text{Purchase price}\times \text{Discount rate}\right)\\ =\$10,000-\left(\$10,000\times 1\%\right)\\ =\$9,900\end{array}$ (1)

• Inventory is an asset account and it is increased. Therefore, debit inventory account with $9,900.
• Accounts payable is a liability account and it is increased. Therefore, credit accounts payable with $9,900.

• Accounts payable is a liability account and it is decreased. Therefore, debit accounts payable with $8,910.
• Cash is an asset account and it is decreased. Therefore, credit cash account with $8,910.

c.

To determine

Explain whether Company SM should take the advantage of cash discount even if it borrow money at the annual rate of 11 percent.

Answer to Problem 5AP

Yes, Company SM must take the advantage of 1/1,n/30 purchase discount.

Explanation of Solution

Company SM is borrowing money from the bank at the rate of 11%. If the Company SM takes the advantage of cash discount, then the company saves 1% by making the payment within the 20days. The bank is charging 11% per year for the loan borrowed by Company SM. hence, the bank charges nearly 0.6% $\left(11\%\times \frac{20\text{Days}}{365\text{Days}}\right)$ for the 20days period. Since, the cost of passing up the cash discount is larger than the cost of short-term borrowing, Company SM should take the advantage of cash discount.
