Based on the purchase details by the company, the correct journal entry to record the purchase on July 5 is c) Debit Merchandise Inventory $1,800; credit Accounts Payable $1,800.

Why is this the correct journal entry?

On July 5, the amount that was purchased was still $1,800. Nothing had been returned yet. The amount that will be debited to Merchandising as an asset will therefore be $1,800.

The Accounts Payable account will be credited the same amount to reflect that the company owes money for the purchase.

In conclusion, option C is correct.
