Sold merchandise on account to Osmond Inc. for $40,000, terms 2/10, N/30.
Gross profit rate on this sale was 45%.
Please help with this entry ?
It does not say when was paid, in order to figure the term
And what do I do with the 45% ?
Thank you

you just need to record the sale and the cost of the goods sold
Dr.Accounts receivable... 40,000
Cr.Sales... 40,000
sold mecrchandise credit terms 2/10,n/30

40,000 x .45= $18,000 this is your profit
Dr.Cost of goods sold... 22,000
Cr.Merchandise inventory... 22,000
to report the cost of goods sold.
