Question

Amarillo Company experienced the following events during its first accounting period. (1) Purchased $5,000 of inventory on account under terms 1/10/n30. (2) Returned 1,000 of the inventory purchased in Event 1. (3) Paid the remaining balance in account payable for the inventory purchased in Event 1. If the Company pays the account payable after the discount period has expired, how much cash will be required to settle the liability?

Answer 1

$4,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the cash to be required to settle the liability is shown below:

= Purchase value of inventory - returned inventory which was purchased

= $5,000 - $1,000

= $4,000

It is a net purchase plus it is the cash required to settle the liability

There is no discount applied in the question as dates are not given so we ignored it.
