Answer:

December 26

Dr. Inventory             $7,500

Cr. Account Payable $7,500

December 31

Dr. Account Payable     $7,500

Dr. Discount Received  $150

Cr. Cash                          $7,350

Explanation:

Credit terms of 2/10, n/30 means there is a discount of 2% is available on payment of due amount within discount period of 10 days after sale with net credit period of 30 days.

Purchase = $7,500

As payment is made within discount period, so the discount will be availed.

Discount = $7,500 x 2% = $150

Payment = $7,500 - $150 = $7,350
