The sales terms are 4/15, n/30, which means that the customer gets a 4% discount if they pay within 15 days. The sale occurred on March 1st, and the customer paid on March 12th, which is within the discount period. The discount amount is 250,000∗0.04=250,000 * 0.04 = 250,000∗0.04=10,000
The customer paid the amount due less the discount. So, the cash received is 250,000−250,000 - 250,000−10,000 = $240,000.
The journal entry records the cash received, the sales discount taken, and the reduction in accounts receivable. Accounts receivable is credited for the original sale amount.
