    B. Cash 960

    Trade Discount 240

    Service Revenue 1,200

    Explanation:

    The customer will pay the discounted amount so:

    1,200 - 20% = 1,200 - 240 = 960 cash proceeds

    Then, the company will record the discount as this is a business policy. The reason the discount is given was because the patient has over 65 years-old

    Finally the service revenue will be in the full amount. Later on the income statement, the discount and allowance will give us the net sales.
