Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

a. If Barans Company pays the invoice within the discount period, what is the amount of cash required for the payment?

The amount of cash required for the payment will be:

Purchases: = $12,900

Less: Returns = $2500

Less: Discount = ($12900 - $2500) × 1% = ($10400 × 1%) = $104

Cash required for payment = $10296

b. What account is credited by Barans Company to record the return?

Based on the information above, the merchandise inventory will be credited.
