    Debit Accounts Payable $2050; credit Merchandise Inventory $41; credit Cash $2009.

    Explanation:

    2.700 - 650 = 2,050 net sale

    commercial term: 2/10 2% within the first 10 days

    payment within discount period:

    2,050 x 2% discount = 41

    cash disbursement: 2,050 - 41 = 2,009

    we will write-off the account payable

    we credit cash by the disbusement amount

    and credit inventory as his cost decreased.
