Jillet Corporation began the year with inventory of 19,000 units of its only product. The units cost $8 each. The company uses a
perpetual inventory system and the FIFO cost method. The following transactions occurred during the year:
a. Purchased 95,000 additional units at a cost of $10 per unit. Terms of the purchases were 210,n30. The company uses the
gross method to record purchase discounts. The inventory was purchased f.o.b. shipping point and additional freight costs of
$0.50 per unit were charged to Jillet.
b.1,900 units purchased during the year were returned to suppliers for credit. Jillet was also given credit for the freight charges of
$0.50 per unit on the original purchase. The units were defective and were returned two days after they were received. The
