The problem reads as such: A computer costing 600 was sold to a customer on credit for 1,500. The customer said the wrong model was shipped, but rather than returning it, the customer agreed to keep the computer for 1,100. The requirement is to show all journal entries and calculate for net sales.
I have worked out a solution to the problem that I think may be correct.
Accounts Receivable 1,500
Sales 1,500
Sales returns and allowances 400
Accounts Receivable 400
Inventory 440
Cost of Goods Sold 440
My calculation of the inventory is: (1,100/1,500) X 100=73.3% X 600 represents the change in inventory. Net Sales seems to be just 1,100. Is there an entry for this?
