A company uses the following journals: Sales Journal, Purchases Journal, Cash Receipts Journal, Cash Disbursements Journal, and General Journal. On March 15, the company purchased merchandise priced at \(\$ 15,000\), subject to credit terms of \(2 / 10, \mathrm{n} / 30\). On March 25 , the company paid the net amount due. However, in journalizing the payment, the bookkeeper debited Accounts Payable for \(\$ 15,000\) and failed to record the cash discount. Cash was credited for the actual amount paid. In what journals would the March 15 and the March 25 transactions have been recorded? What procedure is likely to disclose the error in journalizing the March 25 transaction?
