I have just got the the point in my course where I am covering purchases, sales and returns. In the book it gives the example of a purchase being made by a business of £1000 of stock from R Squid ltd in cash, but then later £100 worth of that stock is found to be faulty and must be returned. The debit entry for this return is then entered into an account called R Squid ltd for the £100. Now it may sound like a silly question, but I was wondering, why is this not just debited back to the cash account? I hope that makes some kind of sense
