    Purchase Discount 234.9 debit

    Cash 7595.1 credit

    --to record payment within discount--

    Explanation:

    (1) we discount 10% of the list price

    11,300 x (1 - 0.1) = 10,170

    (2) as is a gross price we discount the trade-in discount

    2,600 x (1 - 0.1) = 2,340

    (3) we solve for the balance of the account: 10,170 - 2,340 = 7,830

    Now, the inventory will be lowered as we pay within discount period:

    7,830 x 0.03 = 234.9

    Cash 7,830 - 234.9 = 7,595.1
