X-mart uses the perpetual inventory system to account for its merchandise. on may 1, it purchased $400 of merchandise on account with terms of 2/15, n/40. on may 3, x-mart returned $50 of merchandise due to defect. assuming that the purchase was paid for within the discount period, demonstrate the required journal entry for x-mart to record the payment

Explanation:

The journal entry is shown below:

Account payable A/c Dr $350

       To Cash A/c Dr                       $343

        To Merchandise inventory A/c $7

(Being the amount is paid)

The computation is shown below:

Account payable = Purchase of inventory amount - returned goods

                            = $400 - $50

                            = $350

Cash Account = Account payable × discount rate

                        = $350 × 2%

                        = $7

And, the remaining amount will be credited to the cash account

rational decision making is a multi-step process for making choices between alternatives. the process of rational decision making favors logic, objectivity, and analysis over subjectivity and insight. the word “rational” in this context does not mean sane or clear-headed as it does in the colloquial sense.
