Emery Petty · Answer 1

a deduction from sales in the income statement

Explanation:

As we know that the income statement recognize the expenses incurred and the revenues earned during the particular period of time

As the company applied the gross method so the sales discount should be deducted from the sales amount and are shown on the credit side of the income statement as it is earning for the company and the same is to be credited.
