In the Kaplan book, it is stated in Chapter 5
"When preparing the final accounts, discount received is normally netted off against the purchase expense to reduce cost of sales".
Later in Chapter 17- Preparing basic financial statements- an example for preparing financial statements shows that the discount received is included as a line item after gross profit is calculated.
Is there a discrepancy in how it was dealt with or am I missing something.
Ask the Tutor ACCA FA
Discount received
It can be done either way - the final profit will be the same.
Obviously you cannot be asked to prepare full financial statements in the exam :-)
Great! Thank you!
You are welcome :-)
