    Smith Co has the following transactions:
    (a) Purchase of goods on credit from T Rader:$450
    (b) Return of goods purchased on credit last month to T Rouble:$700
    What are the correct ledger entries to record these transactions?
    DEBIT Purchases $450
    DEBIT Trade Payables $250
    CREDIT Purchase Returns $700
    Dear Sir,could you tell me why the DEBIT Trade Payables is $250?How to calculate it?And why the $700 is recorded in the CREDIT Purchase Returns?Thank you.

    When they purchase goods, the entry is Dr Purchases Cr Payables with $450 (because they owe more)
    When they return goods, the entry is Dr Purchase returns Cr Payables with $700 (because they owe less)

    The net effect of crediting payables with 450 and debiting payables with 700 is a debit of 700 – 450 = 250.

    All of this is explained in my free lectures. The lectures are a complete free course for Paper FA and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
