Assuming Balboa uses a perpetual inventory system:

a) Date uu, yy, merchandise purchased from Showcase Co. on terms n/30

Dr Merchandise inventory 254,500

Cr Accounts payable 254,500

b) Date xx, yy, return of defective (or incorrect) merchandise

Dr Accounts payable 30,000

Cr Merchandise inventory 30,000

c) Date zz, yy, payment of invoice

Dr Accounts payable 224,500

Cr Cash 224,500

Since Balboa is the buyer of the goods, the Showcase's COGS are not relevant to them. Also, since there was no discount for early payment, the payment was for 100% of the outstanding debt.
