Question

How to treate cash discount in accounting equation​

Answer 1

Answer:

A customer has been invoiced 100 for goods and takes a 5% cash discount for early settlement.

The original invoice would have been posted to accounts receivable, so the balance before the cash discount settlement on the customers account is 100. A 5% cash discount on 100 is 5, and the amount of cash the customer pays is 95.

A cash discount is a type of sales discount, sometimes called an early settlement discount, and is recorded in the accounting records using two journals. The first journal is to record the cash being received from the customer. The second journal records the cash discount to clear the remaining balance on the customers account.
