Instructor note: This second entry changes if the goods returned are
defective. In this case the returned inventory is recorded at its estimated
value, not its cost. To illustrate, if the goods (costing $130) returned are
defective and estimated to be worth, say, $50, the following entry is made:
Dr. Merchandise Inventory for $50, Dr. Loss from Defective Merchandise
for $80, and Cr. Cost of Goods Sold for $130.
