Allied Merchandisers was organized on May 1. Macy Company is a major customer (buyer) of Allied (seller) products. May 3 Allied made its first and only purchase of inventory for the period on May 3 for 3,000 units at a price of $10 cash per unit (for a total cost of $30,000).
May 5 Allied sold 1,500 of the units in inventory for $14 per unit (invoice total: $21,000) to Macy Company under credit terms 2/10, n/60. The goods cost Allied $15,000.
May 7 Macy returns 150 units because they did not fit the customer’s needs (invoice amount: $2,100). Allied restores the units, which cost $1,500, to its inventory.
May 8 Macy discovers that 150 units are scuffed but are still of use and, therefore, keeps the units. Allied gives a price reduction (allowance) and credits Macy's accounts receivable for $900 to compensate for the damage.
May 15 Allied receives payment from Macy for the amount owed on the May 5 purchase; payment is net of returns, allowances, and any cash discount.
