    Explanation:

    On March 1,

    Debit Receivable Accounts $22,400

    Credit Sales $22,400

    On March 6

    Debit Sales $1,200

    Credit Receivable Accounts $1,200

    On March 11,

    Credit terms of 2/10, net 45 means that 2% discount for the payment within 10 days or the full amount to be paid within 45 days.

    The amount of discount: ($22,400 - $1,200) x 2% = $424
