Answer 1

Answer:

Dr. Cash                          $2,842

Dr. Discount Expense    $58

Cr. Account Receivable $2,900

Explanation:

Terms 2/10, n/30 means there is a discount of 2% is available on payment of due amount within discount period of 10 days after sale with net credit period of 30 days.

Sales = $3,700

Returns = $800

Amount Due = $3,700 - $800 = $2,900

As the payment is made within discount period, so discount will be availed

Discount = $2,900 x 2% = $58

Cash Paid = $2,900 - $58 = $2,842
