Answer:

If there was a discount allowed of Rs. 2,000 then it means that the total amount the debtor was owing was:

= Cash paid by debtor + Discount allowed

= 18,000 + 2,000

= Rs. 20,000

Journal entry is therefore:

Date Account Title Debit Credit

XX-XX-XXXX Cash $18,000

Discount allowed $ 2,000

Accounts Receivable $20,000
