    Explanation:

    December 31, 20Y8 Sales Debit $72,300

    Customer Refunds Payable Credit $72,300

    Note: Calculation: $12,050,000 * 0.6% = $72,300

    (As the customers requested refunds for 0.6% of sales, we have to deduct it from total sales to give refund.)

    December 31, 20Y8 Estimated Returns Inventory Debit $53,000

    Cost of goods sold Credit $53,000

    Note: As the returned products had the cost of sales, we have to give cost of goods sold journal assuming the company used perpetual inventory system.
