You have not said what the question wants.
The distinction between trade discount and cash discount is irrelevant here – the customer simply pays less than the amount.
For Augusts sales, the cash will be received as follows:
In August: 40% x 110,000 = 44,000 less 2% = 43,120
In September: 30% x 110,000 = 33,000 less 1% = 32,670
In October: 30% x 110,000 = 33,000It is a similar pattern for each of the following months.
