Adjusting entry for customer refunds, allowances, and returns
Statz Company had sales of $1,800,000 and related cost of goods sold of $1,150,000 for its first year of operations ending December 31. Statz provides customers a refund for any returned or damaged merchandise. At the end of the year, Statz estimates that customers will request refunds for 1.5% of sales and estimates that merchandise costing $16,000 will be returned. Assume that on February 3 of the following year, Buck Co. returned merchandise with a selling price of $5,000 for a cash refund. The returned merchandise originally cost Statz $3,100.
