Explanation:

a.

The sales made on credit are recorded as a debit to the accounts receivable and a credit to sales revenue by the amount of sales assuming we use the gross method to record sale.

b.

The return of sales is recorded as a debit to the sales return account and a credit to the accounts receivable to reduce the amount due from accounts receivable.

c.

The remaining accounts receivable amount after sales return amounted to 23000 - 2400 = 20600

The sales terms were 2/10 which means a 2% discount was allowed if the accounts receivable pay within 10 days of sale. The payment is received after the discount period. Thus, we will not deduct the discount allowed and accounts receivable will pay fill $20600.

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
