April 1

Dr. Account receivable $1,600

Cr. Sales $1,600

April 10

Dr. Cash $1,552

Dr. Sales Discount $48

Cr. Account receivable $1,600

Explanation:

Term 3/10, n/30 means there is a discount of 3% is available on payment of due amount within discount period of 10 days after sale and net credit period of 30 days.

According to given data

Sales = $1,600

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

Discount = $1,600 x 3% = $48

Payment = $1,600 - $48 = $1,552

Discount of $48 is an expense.
