Journalize these transactions from the buyer's perspective.Discounts are taken on the amount owed to the seller, except forany freight costs.

Oct. 1, 3, 4, 19 & 20: Using the perpetual inventory system,purchases of inventory on account are recorded by debiting themerchandise inventory account and crediting the accounts payableaccount. Under FOB shipping point, freight is paid by the buyer,while FOB destination freight is the seller's expense. Oftenfreight must be prepaid for the carrier to deliver.

Oct. 6: Any discounts or returns are recorded directly by thebuyer who debits Accounts Payable and credits MerchandiseInventory, basically reversing what was done in recording thepurchase.

Oct. 13: Since the invoice is paid within the discount period,the cash paid on account is the difference between the invoice andthe discount.

Oct. 14: Returns are not eligible for discounts. Since theinvoice is paid within the discount period, Accounts Payable isdebited for the balance in the account. The cash paid on account isthe difference between the invoice and the discount, less thereturns.

Oct. 19: Freight expense increases the cost of the merchandise.However, freight is typically prepaid in cash.

Oct. 30: Since the invoice is paid within the discount period,the cash paid on account is the difference between the invoice andthe discount.

Oct. 31 (UK Imports & Veggie): Since no discounts areallowed, no discounts are recorded. The cash paid on account ineach case is equal to the invoice.
