Solution

The payment made on May 24 to Readers would be recorded as follows:

Date: May 24 Debit: Accounts Payable (Readers) 2,800Credit:Cash2,800 Credit: Cash 2,800

Explanation: The payment is made after the discount period (2/10, n/30) has expired, so the full amount of the invoice (3,1003,100 - 300 for returned books = $2,800) is paid. The Accounts Payable to Readers is debited to decrease the liability, and Cash is credited to decrease the asset.
