Question
A supplier offers a company terms 3/10, n/30 for a 300Credit to Inventory for 9,700Credit to Cash for $10,000
Solution
The terms 3/10, n/30 mean that the supplier is offering a 3% discount if the company pays within 10 days. If not, the full amount is due within 30 days.
If the company makes the payment on January 10, they can take advantage of the 3% discount.
3% of 300.
So, the company will pay 300 = $9,700.
Therefore, the entry to record the payment will include a Debit to Accounts Payable for 9,700.
However, the company also needs to record the discount they received. This is done by a Debit to Purchase Discounts (or a similar account) for $300.
So, the correct answer is: Debit to Accounts Payable for 9,700.
