    I purchased a chair from a vendor for $2,500 in September 2009 and sold the chair to MEDIC for $3,500 in September 2009
    In January 2010 MEDIC returned the chair. MEDIC did not want a refund only another brand of chair.
    I returned that chair to my vendor and got a full refund of $2,500.
    I purchased another chair from a different vendor for $2,200 and sent it to MEDIC. MEDIC is HAPPY.
    How do I post these transactions my Balance sheet and Income statement

    You don't post anything to a balance sheet and income statement. You make journal entries, post the entries, go through a series of period-end stuff, and then do statements off that info, last.

    Is this homework by chance?

    If not, are you using periodic or perpetual, and are you using some kind of software. If using software, you should be able to do credits both from your vendor and to your customer.

    Where I come from these all happened in the same accounting period therefore you have sales of $3500 and cost of sales of $2200. The original purchase and the return net themselves out
    Transactions are recorded when they take place not months later

    Start-up with two partners received a total of $40,000 from four individual investors giving 10K each. They company showed zero profit for the last calendar year and is now filing tax returns. All investment dollars are now gone. How do they file?

    The partners were paid from the investment dollars to create the company. Do they file those dollars as income or something else?

    Are there any internal control issue if someone in billing does the application of cash receipt? The billing doesn't do the deposit. Someone in GL record the deposit and someone else in GL makes the deposit and give the copy of the checks to billing to apply the payments. What will be the issue here? Thank you

    Please don't append new questions to old questions

    Internal control relys on the separation of duties and certain checks. The scenario you present means that a bogus invoice could be raised and the cash appropriated, it also means that the cash could be appropriated and the accounts be maniputated by the billing process

    I received an early retirement offer in April 5, 2012 and I accepted the offer April 25, 2012. No terms or conditions. I was asked to stay on until a replacement for my position was found and that I assist in training this replacement, (verbal agreement). This I did and completed the week of Nov. 19, 2012. On Nov. 22, 2012, I received an e-mail stating the early retirement offer was a preliminary one and the amount of the pay out is reduced by 25%. From the date that I accepted the offer until the e-mail concerning the reduction I was in discussions with the president of our company and on each occasion, (about once monthly), he confirmed that the offer was good but they needed to verify the legal aspects and they were also looking out for my best interests from a taxation standpoint.I want the initial offer. What do I do?

    Customer is invoiced for $500, but asked for a 10% discount which he received. The $450 customer payment was applied to his account. So far, the invoice is a $500 credit and the $450 payment is a debit. My question: how is the discounted $50 handled in Quick Books?

    Thank you

    I have been asked to provide a service to residents in a nursing home. The nursing home is going to pay me by cheque as a sub contractor, therefore, no taxes are added to the invoice. My business is just starting and I will basically earn $1500 every other month. In Canada I understand you can make up to $30,000 before you pay HST. The money that I make is added as "other income" on my personal income tax return. My question is, to perform this service, I need someone to go and get the residents and bring them to the clinic. The nursing home is not going to pay her, they are only paying me. Can I pay her as a sub contractor to me and deduct the amount that I give her from the amount that the nursing home gives me before putting it on my income return as "other income"
