August 12 Garcia Company returned undamaged merchandise, purchased on August 6, for a cash refund, $1,560.

Answer 1

Aug 6. Dr cash $14,000

Cr Sales $14,000

Aug,6 Dr Cost of goods sold $8,400

Cr Merchandise inventory $8,400

August 12

Dr Sales returns $1,560

Cr Cash $1,560

August 12

Dr Merchandise inventory $936

Cr Cost of goods sold $936

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first place,the goods sold for cash of $14,000 means that cash account is debited and sales is credited with $14,000

However,with respect to cost of goods sold,there would a debit of $8,400 and credit of the same amount to merchandise inventory.

The goods returned returned would necessitate debit of sales return with $1,560 and credit to cash of the same amount.

The cost of goods returned is $936 ($1,560*$8400/$14,000) should debited to merchandise inventory and a credit to costs of good sold
