Given "Paid cash to Suresh 40000.. discount @2℅"

discount = 40000×2℅ = 800



The Journal Entry will be...

Suresh a/c Dr. 40000

To cash a/c. 39200

To discount received a/c 800

(Being cash paid to suresh)


Because... we know the Three 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



Suresh is the receiver .so he should be debited... cash is going out and discount received is a gain.so they should be credited..
