Question
Chapter 5, Problem 5.1CP
To determine
Credit terms are the terms of payment offered by the seller to the buyer.
2/10, n/30 refers to the sales discount given to the buyer by the seller in case of prompt payment. 2/10, n/30 means the following:

- “10” refers to the number of days available for the buyer to pay and take advantage of the discount.

A number of employee vehicles were damaged and required repainting. The company agreed to reimburse employees for the cost of these repairs. Employees were instructed to submit their bills for the repairs to the Controller, Rob Trout. Rob would then issue a check to the employee for the amount of the bill. While the Internal Auditor Director questioned the Audit Committee about the monitoring of the reimbursements during a meeting a month after the accident, the Committee determined that procedures in place were adequate. Nine months later, at a full board meeting, someone made a remark about the fact that bills were still being turned in for reimbursement.

Terms of the sale are 2/60, n/150. The cost of the purchase to Window World is $56,200. On September 4, Window World determined that Nile Jenkinss account was uncollectible and wrote off the debt. On December 3, Mr. Jenkins unexpectedly paid in full on his account. Record each Window World transaction with Nile Jenkins. In order to demonstrate the write-off and then subsequent collection of an account receivable, assume in this example that Window World rarely extends credit directly, so this transaction is permitted to use the direct write-off method. Remember, however, that in most cases the direct write-off method is not allowed.arrow_forward
