Debit Sales Returns $2,000

Credit Tumusiime Stationers $2,000

To record the return of goods on account.

b) Calculations:

To determine the amount of returns, we first calculate the balance before the discount.  Since the discount equals 1%, it implies that Sh 59,400 = 99% (100 - 1%).  Therefore, 100% of Sh 59,400 = Sh 60,000 (59,400/99%).  This shows that Sh 2,000 (Sh 62,000 - 60,000) was the amount of returns made.
