$($a$)$ Since buyers normally take all purchase discounts, the net purchase price is recorded at the time of purchase. If the buyer makes a return of merchandise or is granted a price

allowance for an invoice with a purchase discount, the amount of the return is recorded at the invoice price less the discount.

$($b$)$ Any discounts or returns are recorded directly by the buyer who reduces the balances of Accounts Payable and Merchandise Inventory, using a debit memo based on the net cost of

the merchandise.
