sales will be returned within thirty days and an additional 3% will be returned within ninety days. Returned

equal or greater value. What amount should A report for net sales in its income statement for the month of December
year 2?
a. P900,000
b. P850,000
c. P780,000
d. P750,000

Answer: A
When revenue is recognized from sales and a right of return exists, sales revenue must be reduced to reflect estimated
returns. In this case, sales of P1,000,000 must be reduced by estimated returns of P100,000 [(7% + 3%) ×
P1,000,000], resulting in net sales of P900,000. The estimated exchanges (15%) will not result in a future reduction of
