    Explanation:

    As the company uses a periodic inventory system, the journal entries record the purchase and payment will be as follows:

    Under gross method

    1. Purchase debit $1000

    Accounts payable credit $1000

    (To record the purchase of inventory)

    2. Accounts payable debit $1000

    Cash credit $980

    Purchase discount credit $20

    (To record the payment.) As the company paid within the discount period, the supplier gives him a discount.

    Under net method

    1. Purchase debit $980

    Accounts payable credit $980

    $1000 - ($1000 * 2%) = $1000 - $20 = $980. As the company uses the net method, the discount will be allowed whenever the purchase has occurred.

    2. Accounts payable debit $980

    Cash credit $980

    As the company paid within the discount period, the supplier gives him a discount.
