When merchandise purchased on account is returned under the perpetual inventory system, the buyer would debit a. Inventory b. Purchases Returns and Allowances c. Accounts Receivable d. Accounts Payable

Answer 1

Accounts payable

Step-by-step explanation:

In accounting, the term accounts payable refers to the money that is owed by a business to its suppliers, in other words, it refers to the business' short-term debts.

When merchandise is purchased on account and it is returned under the perpetual inventory system, the buyer would then debit accounts payable since it is money that the company would owe to the buyer.
