Trade Discount is not recorded in the books of accounts..it is deducted from the List price of that product and the net amount is considered to be the historical price of that product unlike cash discount...
So the Purchase price will be
20000 - 10%(Trade Discount) = 18000
Cash Discount will be 2% @18000(not 20000)
=360
Cash paid immediately is 60% of Purchase price = 18000@60% =10800
So the remaining amount will be a liability to us , where kamal becomes creditor to us..
remaining amount = 18000 - 10800 - 360 =6840
As Per the golden rules of accounting:-
Personal account - Debit the receiver credit the giver
Real account - Debit what comes in credit what goes out
Nominal account -Debit All expenses and losses, credit all incomes and Gains
Kamal being our creditor/Personal account hould be credited.. because he is at the recieving end
Cash a/c being a Real account should be credited because it is outgoing/decreasing..
Cash Discount being a nominal account should be credited because it is an income..
Purchases being a nominal account should be debited because It is an expense
So the Journal Entry will be
Purchases a/c Dr 18000
To Discount recieved a/c 360
To Cash a/c 10800
To Kamal a/c. 6840
(Being Goods Purchased from kamal)
So the Purchase price will be
20000 - 10%(Trade Discount) = 18000
Cash Discount will be 2% @18000(not 20000)
=360
Cash paid immediately is 60% of Purchase price = 18000@60% =10800
So the remaining amount will be a liability to us , where kamal becomes creditor to us..
remaining amount = 18000 - 10800 - 360 =6840
As Per the golden rules of accounting:-
Personal account - Debit the receiver credit the giver
Real account - Debit what comes in credit what goes out
Nominal account -Debit All expenses and losses, credit all incomes and Gains
Kamal being our creditor/Personal account hould be credited.. because he is at the recieving end
Cash a/c being a Real account should be credited because it is outgoing/decreasing..
Cash Discount being a nominal account should be credited because it is an income..
Purchases being a nominal account should be debited because It is an expense
So the Journal Entry will be
Purchases a/c Dr 18000
To Discount recieved a/c 360
To Cash a/c 10800
To Kamal a/c. 6840
(Being Goods Purchased from kamal)
