Hi, i wonder if i could obtain any help out there.
Here’s the question (Extracted):
Charles sold goods on credit to Cody with a list price of $3,200. He allows a 10% trade discount and a further 2% discount for payment within seven days. Cody paid within two days.How much discount should be recorded in the Discount Allowed as a result of the above transactions?
What I had calculated was, I actually calculated the 10% disc on the Sales Price, and after lessing out the 10% disc, i calculated another 2% of further discount based on the net payable amount.
However, i was wrong as only that 2% further discount has been taken as Discount Allowed and not the 10% discount. Is it the 10% discount is supposed to be taken separately as Trade Discount, instead of taking as Discount Allowed? I thought they are the same.
Hope to have someone out there to help me unravel this..
