    The journal entry is as follows

    Account payable A/c Dr $1,800

    To Merchandise Inventory A/c $36

    To Cash A/c $1,764

    (Being the amount due is paid)

    The computation is shown below:

    For Account payable

    = $2,000 - $200

    = $1,800

    For Merchandise inventory

    = ($2,000 - $200) * 2%

    = $36

    And, the remaining balance is credited to the cash account
