    What is journal entry for these transactions.?
    1. Purchased goods on credit from T rader: 450
    2. Return of goods purchased on credit last month to T Robbie: 700

    Ans: Dr purchase :450
    Dr Trade Payables: 250
    Cr Purchase return:700

    Sir, Why are payables debited?
    And why are payables 250 when purchases are 450

    It is the net result of two transactions:

    When goods are purchased:
    DR Purchases 450
    CR Payables. 450

    When goods are returned:
    DR Payables 700
    CR Returns 700

    So the net result of the entries on payables is a debit of 250 (700 – 450)

    Sir, but isn’t irrelevant when the supplier from which goods are bought and the supplier to which goods are returned are different?

    The payables account shows the totalling to suppliers and it is irrelevant which supplier. It is in the payables ledger that there is an account for each separate supplier, but that is not part of the double entry.
