 In your notebooks:  What is the trade discount equation?  What is the purchase discount equation?  What does an invoice amount represent?  What does “4/15, n/30” indicate?

THE PURCHASE JOURNAL: Journalized purchases on account on a purchase journal Debit Purchases Credit AP (with vendor’s name) THE CASH PAYMENTS JOURNAL: 1.Journalized expenses and supplies on a cash payments journal 2.Journalized payments for merchandise with and without Trade discounts on a cash payments journal Use “Purchases” in Account title

 Cash purchases of merchandise are journalized in the cash payment journal  Purchase discounts is like a grocery store that accepts vendor coupons.  Trade discount equation  list price x trade disc. rate = trade disc. then list price – trade disc. = invoice amount.  Purchase discount equation  purchase invoice amt x purchase disc. rate = purchase disc. then purchase invoice amt. - purchase disc. = cash amount after disc.

 Petty cash fund  Enables business to pay cash for small expenses without writing check  Errors may be made when making payments from petty cash fund, causing differences between amount recorded and amount actually on hand

 Must complete a Petty Cash Report to reconcile the actual cash on hand versus the cash that should be in your petty cash fund.  A short amount means that what’s on hand is less than what should be there, and so your replenishment amount needs to be increased  An (over) amount means what you have on hand is more than what you should have, and your replenishment amount need to be decreased.
