Question:
What is difference between trade discount and cash discount?

Answer:

Trade Discount

1) This discount is allowed by wholesaler or manufacturer to the retailer at a fixed percentage on the listed price of goods.
2) It is allowed when goods are purchased in bulk, i.e., large quantity.
3) It is not recorded separately in the books of accounts.
4) For example, if a trader sells goods of the list price of ₹1,00,000 at 20% trade discount for cash, the entry will be:-

Cash A/c Dr.	80,000
To Sales A/c		80,000

Cash Discount

1) Cash Discount is allowed if the customer makes the payment immediately or within a fixed period.
2) It is allowed when payment is made on or before a specified date.
3) It is recorded separately in the books of accounts.
4) For example, if a trader sells goods of the list price of ₹20,000 at 10% trade discount and 2% cash discount, the net amount will be calculated as under:    ₹
List Price 20,000
Less: Trade Discount @ 10%.    2,000
18,000
Less:. Cash Discount @ 2%. 18,000 × 2/100 360
17,640
It means that ₹17,640 will be paid if the payment is made in cash.
