    Accounting: Sold merchandise
    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.
