    Sasha has prepared a draft statement of profit or loss for her business as follows:

    Sales 256,800
    Cost of sales
    Opening inventory 13,400
    Purchases 145,000
    Closing inventory (14,200 (144,200)
    Gross profit 112,600
    Expenses (76,000)
    Net profit 36,600

    Sasha has not yet recorded the following items:
    ? Carriage in of $2,300
    ? Discounts received of $3,900
    ? Carriage out of $1,950
    After these amounts are recorded, what are the revised values for gross and net profit of
    Sasha’s business?

    HOW IS DISCOUNT RECEIVED TREATED?

    in the study text it said discount received should be netted off against purchase to reduce COS but in the solution of this question they not reduced from the COS instead they have subtracted from after the gross profit part so how should you account for discount received should be subtracted from cos or after the gp?

    It should be added after the calculation of the gross profit (here, as a reduction of the expenses figure).
