Being cash payment of dividend

Explanation:

a) 2/10, n/30 means that the buyer is to pay within 30 days but is entitled to 2% discount if the purchase is paid for in 10 days. Since Pina records at net amounts after cash discount

To record this purchase = 63,300 * 0.02 = 1,266

                                        = 63,300 - 1266 = $62,034

b) Since payment was made on 26th, it means the 10 day discount was not utilized hence Pina pays full price for the goods
