Question

Can you double check my journal entries?

Here is the problem:

Spring Company has the following opening account balances in its general ledger on January 1. All balances are normal balances. Spring uses all typical accounts used by a merchandising business. Listed below are accounts with balances other than zero. Snow uses the perpetual inventory system, records all sales by the net method, records sales returns and allowances as they occur (does not estimate at time of sale), records purchases by the gross method, and applies the cost method to account for treasury stock
