    a. $7,524

    b. Merchandise Inventory A/c

    Explanation:

    a. The computation is shown below:

    = Merchandise amount - return and allowances - discount

    = $8,700 - $1,100 - $76

    = $7,524

    The discount = (Merchandise amount - return and allowances) * discount rate

    = ($8,700 - $1,100) * 1%

    = $76

    b. To record the return under the perpetual inventory system, the following entry is passed

    Accounts payable / Account receivable A/c Dr

    To Merchandise Inventory A/c

    (Being return is recorded)

    The Merchandise Inventory A/c is credited
