I'd just tell the customer to pay the full amount and forget the discount. Less paperwork that way, am I right?

B seems like the way to go. Posting the discount from a clearing account to the actual account makes the most sense. Can't mess up the books that way.

I think so too. It's important to have a clear trail of where the cash discount amount is going.

Haha, C is a classic. 'The cash discount amount is NOT considered' - that's the kind of answer I'd expect from an intern, not a professional accountant!

Option D looks good to me. The cash discount should be credited to the stock or cost account directly. Why create an extra clearing account?

I think option A is correct. The cash discount amount is posted to a clearing account and cleared when the payment is made. This keeps the accounting accurate.

I disagree with Jade. I believe the answer is B. The cash discount amount is posted from a cash discount clearing account to the stock account or cost account.
