Problem
Sweet Engineering Corporation purchased conveyor equipment with a list price of $10,300. Presented below are three independent cases related to the equipment.
(a) Sweet paid cash for the equipment 8 days after the purchase. The vendor's credit terms are 2/10, n/30. Assume that equipment purchases are initially recorded gross.
(b) Sweet traded in equipment with a book value of $2,200 (initial cost $8,100), and paid $9,300 in cash one month after the purchase. The old equipment could have been sold for $500 at the date of trade. (The exchange has commercial substance.)
(c) Sweet gave the vendor a $11,100 zero-interest-bearing note for the equipment on the date of purchase. The note was due in one year and was paid on time. Assume that the effective-interest rate in the market was 9%.
Prepare the general journal entries required to record the acquisition and payment in each of the independent cases above.
