    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
