Answers
3 golden rules
• debit the receiver , credit the giver
• debit what comes in , credit what goes out
• debit all the expenses and losses , credit all the incomes and gains
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
reason for debit and credit
Purchases A/c - nominal A/c , where is the expenses to the company therefore its debited
Cash A/c - Real A/c , here money goes out of the company , therefore its credited
Discount received A/c - Nominal a/c , where its gain to us because we are paying less than whats payable , therefore its credited
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Calculation of trade discount and cash discount
Trade discount = sales * 10%
= 150000*10%
=15000
Net bill amount = sales - trade discount
= 150000 - 15000
=135000
* Trade discount will be deducted from sales amount . no journal entry passed for trade discount
--------------------------------------------------------------------
cash discount = 135000 * 2%
= 2700
net bill amount payable = 135000 - 2700
=132300
