About this lesson
You'll discover the key principle: returns reverse the original transaction, with different treatments depending on whether the initial sale or purchase was cash or credit. Through worked examples, you'll see how to debit and credit the correct accounts—from reducing cash and income on cash returns, to adjusting receivables and payables on credit returns—so you can confidently handle returns in your exam and practice.
