    or

    a. cash 16,400 sales discount 492 accounts receivable 15,908

    Explanation:

    Term 3/15, n/30 means there is a discount of 3% is available on payment of due amount within discount period of 15 days after sale and net credit period of 30 days.

    The cash receipt on august 1 is eligible for the discount and the cash net of due amount is received against the sales portion

    According to Given data

    Discount = 16,400 x 3% = $492

    Cash Received = $16,400 - $492 = $15,908

    According to Correct option

    Discount = 15,000 x 2% = $300

    Cash Received = $15,000 - $300 = $14,700

    * Data given is Inconsistenet with the options.

    Dr Accounts receivable 25,000

    Cr Sales revenue 25,000

    August 1, partial payment received on merchandise sold on account

    Cr Accounts receivable 16,400
