Allied Merchandisers was organized on May 1. Macy Co. is a major customer (buyer) of Allied (seller) products.

May 3 Allied made its first and only purchase of inventory for the period on May 3 for 2,000 units at a price of $8 cash per unit (for a total cost of $16,000).
5 Allied sold 1,000 of the units in inventory for $12 per unit (invoice total: $12,000) to Macy Co. under credit terms 2/10, n/60. The goods cost $8,000 to Allied.
7 Macy returns 100 units because they did not fit the customer’s needs (invoice amount: $1,200). Allied restores the units, which cost $800, to its inventory.
8 Macy discovers that 100 units are scuffed but are still of use and, therefore, keeps the units. Allied sends Macy a credit memorandum for $400 toward the original invoice amount to compensate for the damage.
15 Allied receives payment from Macy for the amount owed on the May 5 purchase; payment is net of returns, allowances, and any cash discount.

Prepare journal entries to record the following transactions for Allied assuming it uses a perpetual inventory system and the gross method. (Allied estimates returns using an adjusting entry at each year-end.)

Daniel owns 100 shares of abc corporation's common stock. abc uses the fair value option, and recent declines in the firm's credit rating have caused the value of the firm's outstanding bonds payable to drop by 10%. daniel feels this is good news, but he wants to know what you think about the situation. which of the following represents your best response? a : "this situation may be positive for you in that the change in abc's credit standing indicates that the value of the firm's assets is likely increasing. however, the drop in bond value may negate any positive effects on your bottom line, because it means your claim on the firm's assets is simultaneously decreasing." b : "actually, this is bad news all around. the drop in the value of abc's bonds payable means shareholders' claims on the firm's assets have decreased. moreover, abc's declining credit rating means that the firm's assets are probably also dropping in value, thus magnifying your losses even more." c : "on the surface, this seems like good news because it means your claim on the firm's assets has increased. however, the drop in creditworthiness may also indicate that abc's assets are declining in value, thus offsetting any gains associated with the drop in bonds payable." d : "you're right! this is good news because it means that abc's debtholders have a decreased claim on the firm's assets. as a result, the firm's existing shareholders"like you"have seen their claim on the firm's assets increase."
