Accounting transactions

What would the transaction be for . .

Collected a large account receivable in the amount of $40,000.
Terms on the receivable were N/30 ?



Purchased merchandise on account from Han Trading for $15,000.
Terms 2/10 , N/30 ?



I know 2/10 means 2% in 10 days and N/30 means paid in full in 30 days, right ?
