    Returns and allowances using pertetual invetory method
    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?

    Everything looks right. I don't think there's an account for net sales like your thinking

    Looks like you've got everything accounted for on the ledger.
