Explanation:

A.) Using perpetual inventory method

February 1:

Inventory = ($12700 - (0.1 ×12,700)) = $11,430

Account Payable = $11,430

February 4:

Accounts payable ($2400 - (0.1×2400)) = $2160

Inventory = $2,160

February 13:

Accounts payable($11,430 - $2,160) = $9,270

Inventory = 0.03 × $9,270 = $278.1

Cash = $(9270 - 278.1) = $8,991.90

B.) Using periodic inventory ;

February 1:

Purchases =($12700 - (0.1×12700)) = $11,430

Accounts payable = $11,430

February 4:

Accounts payable = ($2400 - (0.1×2400)) = $2,160

Purchase returns and allowances = $2,160

February 13:

Accounts payable ($11,430 - $2160) = $9,270

Purchase discount = 0.03 × 9270 = $278.1

C.) Using net price:

Purchase price = $12,700

Trade discount=(0. 1 × 12700) = (1270)

Price which discount is based = $11,430

Cash discount = 0.03 × 11,430 = $342.9

Net price = $11,087.01

February 1:

Inventory = $11,087.01

Accounts payable = $11,087.01

February 13:

Accounts payable $(11,430 - 2,160)

$11,087.01
