as I think it will be 450* 92%=414.

Egyayaw !

Clearly, the double entry on the purchase of goods (on 28 May 2009) would be:

Dr. Purchases (net of trade T/Disc.) $414,
Cr. Accounts Payable $414

However, P has not paid the amount due as at the year end, which is in this case 31 May 2009. Hence, the amount to be included in accounts payable would be $414.

If, P eventually pays within 10 days, the he will receive an early settlement discount of 2%. The double entry would be:

Dr. Accounts Payable $414
Cr. Discount Received 8
Cr. Cash $406
