Suppose Ram purchase goods of Rs. 10000 from Sham @ 10% trade discount on credit. After 15 days. Ram pays full settlement of all money with @ 10% cash discount.

Because goods comes in Ram’s business so Purchase account will debit with Rule 2^nd and its first part

Because Sham is giver of goods so he is giver and account with his name will be credit with rule 1^st and its second part after this we will pass the journal entry

Purchase account Dr. 9000
