On goods purchases of Rs.2,00,000 got trade discount of 20,000 from supplier, and the amounts paid..

Answer / h.r. sreepada bhagi

Since Rs. 20000/- trade discount is given and payment made
to the supplier is Rs. 2 Lac. (Cash 1Lac.+Cheque 1Lac.)
From this we can imply that the original value of the goods
was Rs. 2.20 Lac., & has been supplied for Rs. 2 Lac. after
trade discount of Rs. 20000/-.

Trade discount need not be accounted separately. (Only cCash
discount received/given needs to be accounted separately as
income/expense, as the case may be.

In this case On Purchase, debit Purchases A/c with Rs. 2
Lac., & Credit the Supplier.
On payment, debit the supplier with Rs. 2 Lacs. & Credit
Cash & Bank A/cs with Rs. 1 Lac., each.
