Explanation:

a.

The sales are made on credit so the accounts receivable will be debited and the sales revenue will be credited. Assuming that we are using the gross method to record sale, we will record the sale at the invoice price as quoted and will not record it at net of discount amount.

b.

The sales returns are made on July 8 which will reduce the sales revenue. We do this by opening a contra account to sales revenue which is of Sales returns. The increase in sales returns will be debited to this account and the accounts receivable will be reduced and credited by the amount of return made.

c.

As the sales term are 3/10 n/30 which means a 3% discount if payment for credit sales is made within 10 days of sale and the credit term is 30 days. The Crane Co. received the payment from accounts receivable on July 11 which is after the discount period has ended. Thus the accounts receivable will pay the full amount outstanding which is (23380 - 3380) = $20000.
