Provide a discussion of the principles involved and all journal entries you would have as the seller in this case (fill in any missing assumptions that you need):

I purchased a ScanSnap from Newegg.com. The total invoice was $419 with shipping. It was paid by credit card. It came and it was for a Mac instead of an XP system. My ordering mistake. I returned it and they refunded all but $60 on the credit card and called the $60 a restocking fee.
Between those things, I re-ordered the correct XP version and it came with the total price, including shipping, of $414.
Also, Newegg offered a $50 rebate on this item which I would take advantage of.

I emailed Newegg and explained my ordering mistake and, as a regular customer, requested a waiver of the $60 restocking fee. It was granted and refunded on my credit card.

You could further split the sales of 419 and 414 into sales and shipping, but I didn't have the amt for shipping.
