Answer / imran malik

Trade discount is not shown in accounting books but still it
is calculated and subtracted from the principle amount and
the remaining amount (result) becomes the principle amt at
which cash discount would be calculated and shown in the
accounting books:
Sol:
Given: Goods sold @100000
Therefore, TD= 100000*(5/100)=5000
Selling price= Principle amt - TD
= 100000 - 5000
= 95000
Now, CD would be applied on the above answer, i.e on 95000
Therefore CD = 95000 * (5/100)
= 4750
Cash Received = 95000 - 4750
= 90250
Journal Entries:
Purchase Goods A/C Dr 95000
---- To Cash A/C 90250
---- To Discount Received 4750

Hope the answer is right

Answer / kasi reddy

Trade Discount is the deduction granted by supplier towards
business consideration to increase the sales with bulk
qualtity of goods/services. Trade discount will never be
recorded in books of accounts, since it is given on invoice
copy. Trade discount is given to promote the sales.
The Cash Discount is the reduction granted by supplier for
encourage the prompt or Immediate payment.
The details are as follows.....
Total sales = 100000
Trade discount = 5% on 100000 = 100000*5/100 = 5000
The actual sales = 100000-5000 = 95000.
Cash Discount is 5% on 95000 = 95000*5/100 = 4750.
Now the entry for cash discount is: -

Purchases a/c DR 95000,
To Discount received a/c 4750,
To Cash/Bank a/c 90250.
(Being cash Discount received from purchaser)

Answer / aman chhabra

let me explain u ..

Trade Discount is the discount provided on bulk purchases or at the tym of purchase.
and generally trade discount is not shown in the books of accounts.

now the entry at the tym of purchase 1,00,000.
without trade discount.

Purchase A/c....Dr 100000
To vendor A/c cr 100000

and now at the tym of 5% trade discount the entry would be



Purchase A/c....Dr 95,000
To vendor A/c cr 95,000

nw see that genreally trade discount is not shown in books of account.
only amount will be effected.


Cash Discount is the discount provided for payments made
before due date and for cash purchases and this is gain and
the company is shown in the books of accounts.
so nw we to pay to vendor 90500
and cash discount received is 5 %
so the entry will be


vendor A/c....Dr 95,000
To Discount Received A/c 4,750
To cash A/c 90,250.

nw the payment made to vendor is Rs 90,250.
