    The correct answer is option D

    Explanation:

    The reason is that the inventory purchases are record at the cost not at the cost less discount value.

    When the company gets the settlement discount it must be accounted for as decrease in purchases price not in quantity and must be credited with the discount received against the accounts payable.
