**Buyer’s Journal Entries (Periodic System, Gross Method)** **a) When the merchandise is purchased** \[ \begin{array}{rcl} \text{Debit: Purchases} & \$27,900 & \\ \text{Credit: Accounts Payable} & & \$27,900 \\ \end{array} \] **b) When cash is paid within the discount period** The discount is \(2\%\) of \( \$27,900 \), which equals \[ 0.02 \times 27,900 = \$558. \] Thus, the amount of cash paid is \[ 27,900 - 558 = \$27,342. \] \[ \begin{array}{rcl} \text{Debit: Accounts Payable} & \$27,900 & \\ \text{Credit: Cash} & & \$27,342 \\ \text{Credit: Purchase Discounts} & & \$558 \\ \end{array} \] **c) When cash is paid after the discount period** No discount is earned, so the full invoice amount is paid: \[ \begin{array}{rcl} \text{Debit: Accounts Payable} & \$27,900 & \\ \text{Credit: Cash} & & \$27,900 \\ \end{array} \] --- **Seller’s Journal Entries (Periodic System, Gross Method)** **a) When the merchandise is sold** \[ \begin{array}{rcl} \text{Debit: Accounts Receivable} & \$27,900 & \\ \text{Credit: Sales Revenue} & & \$27,900 \\ \end{array} \] *Note:* In a periodic inventory system, the cost of goods sold is determined at the end of the period and is not recorded at the time of sale. **b) When cash is collected within the discount period** Since the buyer takes the discount, the cash received is \( \$27,900 - \$558 = \$27,342 \) and a discount of \( \$558 \) is allowed: \[ \begin{array}{rcl} \text{Debit: Cash} & \$27,342 & \\ \text{Debit: Sales Discounts} & \$558 & \\ \text{Credit: Accounts Receivable} & & \$27,900 \\ \end{array} \] **c) When cash is collected after the discount period** No discount is given, so the full amount is collected: \[ \begin{array}{rcl} \text{Debit: Cash} & \$27,900 & \\ \text{Credit: Accounts Receivable} & & \$27,900 \\ \end{array} \]
