Answer:

net sales: 638,000

Explanation:

Accounting works on accrual basis. We must match the transaction with the period they occur. The year-end adjustment are done to reflect the discount, return and allowance forthe current year sales so; we must include thme in the calculation for this year. If not, then we will be charging next year sales with discount on sales of the previous year.

salesrevenue :                         750,000

discount (20,000 + 2,000)      (22,000)

allowance (30,000 + 4,000)    (34,000)

returns  (50,000 + 6,000)        (56,000)

net sales:                                  638,000
