The journal entries are shown below:

On February 2

Inventory A/c Dr $25,000

To Account payable A/c $25,000

(Being purchase of inventory is recorded)

On February 10

Account payable A/c $25,000

To Cash A/c $24,500

To Inventory A/c $500

(Being payment is made for cash and discount is recorded under inventory)

The discount is computed below:

= Inventory amount * discount percentage

= $25,000 * 2%

= $500

The remaining balance is credited to the cash account
