April 2
Dr. Inventory 15,960
Dr. Freight-in Expense 2,040
Dr. AP 2,040
Cr. AP 18,000
Cr. Cash 2,000
Dr. Discount Freight-in 40

Note: You can net the 2 AP accounts. I just separated it so you can follow my logic.

Assumption: On April 12, you received all this inventory with the bill and you then paid the Freight part of the bill which was 2,000 x 1.02 = 2,040. Less the 2% discount, it cost 2,000


April 4
Correct

April 5
Correct

April 10
Total Amount 18,000 – 2,040 – 2,500 = 13,460

Dr. AP 13,460
Cr. Cash 13,196
Cr. Discounts Earned 264


April 15
Correct

April 19
Total Sales = 8,000 – 2,500 = 5,500

Dr. Cash 5,335
Dr. Sales Discount Allowed 165
Cr. AR 5,500

Discount was 3% on the 5,500, or $165
