Date       Details                                    Debit ($)         Credit ($)                

May 04  Accounts payable (w.1.)         36,000

              (To record the payment of the amount due to Tamarisk Company in full.)

Working:

For the payment made on April 15, this implies the payment was made within 10 days and that Bramble Co. will enjoy 2% discount. Therefore, we have:

w.1. Accounts payable = Beginning inventory – Returns = $41,700 - $5,700 = $36,000

w.2. Discount = w.1. * 2% = $36,000 * 2% = $720

w.3. Cash = w.1. – w.2. = $36,000 - $720 = $35,280
