    Dr. Inventory $7,500

    Cr. Account Payable $7,500

    December 31

    Dr. Account Payable $7,500

    Dr. Discount Received $150

    Cr. Cash $7,350

    Credit terms of 2/10, n/30 means there is a discount of 2% is available on payment of due amount within discount period of 10 days after sale with net credit period of 30 days.

    Purchase = $7,500

    Discount = $7,500 x 2% = $150

    Payment = $7,500 - $150 = $7,350
