Answer:

1. 10 Oct 2018     Inventory        $59500 Dr

                                Accounts Payable      $59500 Cr

2. 13 Oct 2018    Accounts Payable   $1700 Dr

                                Inventory                     $1700 Cr

Explanation:

1. The Textbook store is purchasing the books at $17 per book and in total 3500 books are purchased on credit. So, we debit the inventory account by 59500 (3500 * 17) and credit the Accounts Payable by 59500.

2. This transaction relates to Purchases return which in this case is our inventory of books. Textbook store will record this transaction in its books by debiting the Accounts Payable account by the value of the books returned 1700 (170* 100) and credit its inventory by 1700. The last line pertains to total estimation of sales returns by Piranha so we do not need to consider that while preparing transactions in Textbook store's books.
