Explanation of Journal Entries

For each credit purchase, you would make an entry that debits the Purchases account (with the gross amount) and credits the Accounts Payable account (with the net amount after discount). In practice, the discount may be recorded in a separate column or sub‐account if required by your accounting system.

For example, the journal entry for January 2, 2024, would be:

  • Debit: Purchases ₦39,000
  • Credit: Trade Discount Received ₦1,170
  • Credit: Accounts Payable ₦37,830

And for January 5, 2024:

  • Debit: Purchases ₦24,750
  • Credit: Trade Discount Received ₦2,475
  • Credit: Accounts Payable ₦22,275
