Concept:Returns inwards are goods customers send back after a credit sale, so they reduce the amount owed by debtors.
Explanation:The sales ledger control account summarises all credit sales and debtor transactions.
When goods are returned, the debtor no longer owes money for those goods.
Therefore, returns inwards must be posted to the credit side of the sales ledger control account.
This credit reduces the total debtors balance.
The corresponding debit entry is made in the returns inwards (sales returns) account.
So the correct treatment is: returns inwards credited and sales returns debited.
Answer:B. credited and sales returns debited
