    Description Amount (Dr) Amount (Cr)

    Cash 8,330

    Sales Discount (0.02x8500) 170

    Accounts receivable 8,500

    Explanation:

    The question is to determine the correct accounting entry for Flores on November 17th based on the assumption that the correct payment was received on that same 17th November

    First, it should be noted that since the payment as made within the 10 days of purchase, the discount based on the credit terms will apply.

    Therefore, the discount of 2% on the Gross Recievable amount will be treated as sales discount

    As such therefore, the recognition is as follows

    Description Amount (Dr) Amount (Cr)

    Cash 8,330

    Sales Discount (0.02x8500) 170

    Accounts receivable 8,500
