Journal Entry for record sale on 10th November

Date                Account                                                Debit              Credit

Nov 10              Cash                                                   $8000  

                       Account receivable                                                    $7840

                       (8000 × 98%)

                       Sales discount                                                             $160

Answer:

The customer was to pay the discounted sum of $7,840.00 since the correct payment was received by Cherokee industries on the 20th of November.

Explanation:

$8000.00

Credit terms of 2/10, n/30

using the Net Discount Method for sales

2/10 means that the customer stands the chance of receiving a discount of 2% if he pay the outstanding on the invoice within 10 days of the purchases.

Therefore, Discount rate of 2% or 0.02 of $8000.00 =

$8000.00 x 0.02 = $160.00

∴ $8,000.00 - $160.00 =  $7,840.00
