$$
\$11{,}090.
$$

1. Record the sale on account under terms $$2/10,\, n/60$$:
   $$
   \begin{aligned}
   \text{Dr Accounts Receivable} & \quad \$15{,}000 \
   \text{Cr Sales Revenue}        & \quad \$15{,}000 \

   \text{Dr Cost of Goods Sold} & \quad \$11{,}090 \
   \text{Cr Inventory}          & \quad \$11{,}090 \
   \end{aligned}
   $$

   \end{aligned}
   $$

   \text{Cr Cost of Goods Sold} & \quad \$1{,}100 \
   \end{aligned}
   $$

**May 8 – Allowance for Damaged Goods**  
Macy keeps 100 units that are scuffed, and Allied grants an allowance with a reduction of  
$$
\$799
$$
by crediting Macy’s accounts receivable.

1. Record the allowance:
   $$

   \end{aligned}
   $$

**May 15 – Receipt of Payment**  
Macy pays for the May 5 sale, net of returns, allowances and any cash discount.

1. Determine the net receivable balance at the time of payment:

$$
   \begin{aligned}
   \text{Original Invoice} & = \$15{,}000 \
   \text{Less Returns}     & = \$1{,}500 \
   \text{Less Allowance}   & = \$799 \
   \text{Net Invoice}      & = \$15{,}000 - \$1{,}500 - \$799 = \$12{,}701 \
   \end{aligned}
   $$
   
2. Calculate the cash discount (2\% of the net invoice):

$$
   \text{Discount} = 0.02 \times \$12{,}701 = \$254.02
   $$

3. Determine the cash received:

$$
   \text{Cash Received} = \$12{,}701 - \$254.02 = \$12{,}446.98
   $$

4. Record the receipt of payment:
   $$
   \begin{aligned}
   \text{Dr Cash}           & \quad \$12{,}446.98 \
   \text{Dr Sales Discounts} & \quad \$254.02 \
   \text{Cr Accounts Receivable} & \quad \$12{,}701 \
   \end{aligned}
