(b) Since the exercise assumes the invoice was paid within the discount period, the seller deducts 1% of the invoice amount and it is recorded as a debit to Sales Discount, while crediting Accounts Receivable for the total amount of the invoice. The difference between these two accounts is recorded as a debit to Cash.

c. Issued a credit memo for returned merchandise that was sold for $10,900 terms n/30. The cost of the merchandise returned was $6,540.
