Allied Merchandisers was organized on May 1. Macy Co. is a major customer (buyer) of Allied (seller) products.

May		3		Allied made its first and only purchase of inventory for the period on May 3 for 1,000 units at a price of $9 cash per unit (for a total cost of $9,000).
		5		Allied sold 500 of the units in inventory for $13 per unit (invoice total: $6,500) to Macy Co. under credit terms 2/10, n/60. The goods cost Allied $4,500.
		7		Macy returns 50 units because they did not fit the customers needs (invoice amount: $650). Allied restores the units, which cost $450, to its inventory.
		8		Macy discovers that 50 units are scuffed but are still of use and, therefore, keeps the units. Allied gives a price reduction (allowance) and credits Macy's accounts receivable for $250 to compensate for the damage.
		15		Allied receives payment from Macy for the amount owed on the May 5 purchase; payment is net of returns, allowances, and any cash discount.

Prepare the appropriate journal entries for Macy Co. to record each of the May transactions. Macy is a retailer that uses the gross method and a perpetual inventory system; it purchases these units for resale. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)
