    Credit terms
    I just had a quick question about selling merchandise on credit.

    If a buyer sold merch on credit for $7,000, terms 2/10, 1/15, n/30; With 700 units at $5 each

    I just wanted to know what would be the COGS and Inv. I think it would be in the $3,000's

    700 units x $5 = $3,500, or is it $7,000

    Or are you asking what the JE for the seller is? Who bought it at 3,500 and sold it for 7,000?

    The actual problem looks like this:
    If a buyer sold merch on credit for $7,000, terms 2/10, 1/15, n/30***

    The three asterisks at the end of the problem refer to this.
    ***700 units at $5 each

    So I guess I need to know the seller's/ buyers JE.

    Would the JE look like this?

    12/24
    DR. A/R 7000
    CR. SALES 7000

    DR. COGS 3500
    CR. Inventory 3500

    Yes, your JE is correct for the seller.
