CASE STUDY: KBC DECORATING CO$.$

MARCH TRANSACTIONS

In this chapter, you learned about accounting for credit notes, refunds, and discounts. You will now apply these concepts to the regular activities of KBC Decorating Co$.$

From this point forward, some sale and purchase invoices will carry terms such as $2/10,$ n$/30.$ If the invoice is paid within the discount period, the discount will be based on the pre$-$tax value of the goods.

Credit notes and refunds should be recorded in the same journal as the original entry to which the credit note or refund relates. Take care to record these amounts in brackets as they are to be deducted from the accounts affected.

$24$ Found damaged goods in the order from Rainbow Supplies, $$300$ plus HST$.$ The company has issued a credit note to us$.$

$30$ Paid Rainbow Supplies for the balance owing on Invoice #$49.$ We have taken advantage of the eligible discount based on the pre$-$tax value. Look back at your entries in the Purchase Journal to find the pre$-$tax value of the original purchase and of the credit note. The difference between the two amounts is the base amount on which the discount is calculated.

$30$ Cash sales for the month: paint and supplies, $$12,400,$ and wallpaper, $$4,600.$ Add HST as usual.

$30$ During the month, we gave refunds to cash customers for goods that were returned damaged or unwanted: paint and supplies, $$420,$ and wallpaper, $$160.$ Add HST as usual. Since these amounts were paid from the cash register, make the necessary entry in the Cash Receipts Journal as a bracketed entry.

$31$ Paid for gas and oil for our own truck used for deliveries of goods to customers, $$95$ plus HST$.$
