                                                                             Debit             Credit

June 1, 2020      Accounts receivables              $51,000

                                  Sales                                                        $51,000

                           Recording sale of goods on credit.

June 12, 2020    Bank                                          $48,960

                           Sales discount (Working 1)       $2,040

                                  Accounts receivables                              $51,000

                           Recording cash received from customer.

Working 1:

As per the terms of sale, the customer receives 4% cash discount if the payment is made within 15 days. The customer makes the payment on the 12th day, and thus, receives 4% cash discount.

Cash discount = 4% x $51,000 = $2,040

Amount received from customer = $51,000 - $2,040 = $48,960
