    Dr. Customer Account $75,000

    Cr. Sales $75,000

    July 9, 2014

    Dr. Cash $41,500

    Dr. Discount Expenses $830

    Cr. Customers Account $42,330

    July 25, 2014

    Dr. Cash $32,670

    Cr. Customers Account $32,670

    Explanation:

    Revenue recognition concept of accounting requires that the Sales should be recorded when the goods are delivered to the customer. In this question the goods are received by the customer on July 7, 2014, so sales is recorded on this date.

    Term 2/10, n/30 means there is a discount of 2% is available on payment of due amount within discount period of 10 days after sale and net credit period of 30 days.

    As the $41,5000 is paid within discount period, so discount will be given to customer

    Discount = $41,500 x 2% = $830

    Amount Due = $75,000 - $41,500 - $830 = $32,670

    $32,670 is received after discount period, so there is no discount on this payment.
