Please help !!!
What would the transactions be . . .

1/23 Sold merchandise on account to UTS Inc. for $12,000 terms 2/10, N30. The gross rate on this sale was 40%

1/24 Merchandise sold on 1/23 in the amount of $2,000 was returned for credit and returned to inventory.


I think the first entry is . . .

1/23 Cash 12,000
Sales 12,000
1/23 Cost of goods sold 7,200
Merchandise 7,200

Please correct me if this is wrong ?
But what would the entry for the 24th be ? ? ? ?
