    good day,

    I have a query concerning a question that I attempted in suspense accounts.

    “A discount of $50 given to a customer had been credited to discounts received.”

    The solution was Dr Discount Allowed (2 * $50) $100; Cr Suspense (2 * $50) $100

    My question is why there is a Dr of $100 instead of $50?

    Please help!

    The correct solution is this:

    Dr Discounts received 50 (because this is a discount allowed and so the amount credited to discount received has to be removed)

    Dr Discounts allowed 50 (which is what the correct entry is for a discount allowed)

    Cr Suspense account 100
