    I When goods are returned this should reduce the customer’s indebtedness so should be credited to the individual receivables account and to the control account.

    II Trade discounts are simply a reduced selling price and will be shown on the invoice.

    III No. Discounts allowed will be credited to the individual account and the SLCAC so as to reduce the amount owed.

    I suppose, given the options C is the correct answer though the used of the word ‘excluded’ is odd. The discount is automatically posted because the invoice is less, but there is no explicit entry for the discount.
