Haney · Answer 1

The journal entries to record the sale on June 1 are:

Dr Cash 69,000

Cr Sales revenue 69,000

Dr Cost of goods sold 40,000

Cr Inventory 40,000

If the next question asks to record the return privilege and estimates, it should be recorded as both an asset (estimated returns inventory) and a liability (customer refunds payable).
