A. The required amount of cash payment = $9,702

B.

Explanation:

Requirement A.

Given,

Purchased merchandise = $12,600

Discount terms = 1/10, n/30

It means if the company pays within 10 days, Xanadu Company will get a 1% discount. However, the company has to pay the money within 30 days.

Again, as the company returned the merchandise of $2,800. Therefore, the remaining balance is = $(12,600 - 2,800) = $9,800.

If the company pays within the discount period,

the company has to pay = $9,800 - ($9,800 x 1%)

the required amount of cash payment = $9,800 - $98 = $9,702.

Requirement B.

The journal entry to record the return -

Under the perpetual system -

Accounts payable                    Debit       $2,800

             Inventory                    Credit       $2,800

Under the periodic system -

Accounts payable                    Debit        $2,800

      Purchase Returns  and Allowances    Credit      $2,800

Therefore, in both the cases, Accounts payable of $2,800 is debited by Xanadu Company to record the purchase return.
