Transcribed Image Text:**Question 9:**
Which of the following is recorded upon receipt of a payment on April 7, 2021, by a customer who pays a $900 invoice dated March 3, 2021, with terms 2/10, n/60?
A. Debit Sales Discounts $18.
B. Credit Purchase Discounts $18.
C. Credit Accounts Receivable $882.
D. Debit Cash $900.
---
**Explanation:**
This question involves understanding of early payment discount terms and journal entries. The invoice has terms 2/10, n/60, meaning the customer can take a 2% discount if they pay within 10 days; otherwise, the net amount is due in 60 days.
- The payment was made on April 7, 2021, which is 35 days after March 3, 2021.
- Since the payment was not made within the 10-day discount period, no discount is applied.
- The customer pays the full $900 instead of $882 (which would be the amount with the discount).
Selecting the correct entry requires knowing these conditions:
- **C. Credit Accounts Receivable $882** is incorrect because the payment amount does not reflect a discount.
- **A. Debit Sales Discounts $18** and **B. Credit Purchase Discounts $18** are both incorrect because no discount applies.
- **D. Debit Cash $900** is correct as the customer paid the full invoice amount with no discount.
This reflects the accurate recording of the transaction.
