a) Data and Analysis:

April 4 Accounts receivable $5,000 Sales revenue $5,000 credit terms of 3/10, n/30.

April 5 Sales returns $500 Accounts receivable (cash) $500

b) The seller uses a periodic inventory system.  Therefore, the cost of goods sold will not be recorded on April 4 until April 30, when there will be a physical count of inventory to determine the closing inventory.  With the beginning and ending inventories together with the purchases account, the cost of goods sold can then be calculated.
