Table (1)

Working notes:

Calculate the amount of net accounts payable.

Inventory = $1,500

Purchase returns = $200

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Net accounts payable = Inventory – Purchase returns}\\ =\$1,500–\$200\\ =\$1,300\end{array}$ (1)

Calculate the amount of purchase discount.

Net accounts payable = $1,300 (1)

Discount percentage = 3%

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Purchase discount = \$1,300 × }\frac{3}{\text{100}}\\ \text{= \$39}\end{array}$ (2)

Calculate the amount of cash paid.

Net accounts payable = $1,300 (1)

Purchase discount = $39 (2)

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Cash paid = Net accounts payable – Purchase discount}\\ \text{= \$1,300 – \$39}\\ \text{= \$1,261}\end{array}$ (3)

Calculate the amount of net accounts payable.

Inventory = $830

Purchase returns = $30

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Net accounts payable = Inventory – Purchase returns}\\ =\$830–\$30\\ =\$800\end{array}$ (4)

Calculate the amount of purchase discount.

Net accounts payable = $800 (4)

Discount percentage = 1%

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Purchase discount = \$800 × }\frac{1}{\text{100}}\\ \text{= \$8}\end{array}$ (5)

Calculate the amount of cash paid.

Net accounts payable = $800 (4)

Purchase discount = $8 (5)

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Cash paid = Net accounts payable – Purchase discount}\\ \text{= \$800 – \$8}\\ \text{= \$792}\end{array}$
