This document discusses two types of discounts: trade discount and cash discount. Trade discount is a deduction from the list price usually given by wholesalers to retailers on bulk purchases. It is deducted from the invoice and not recorded in accounts. Cash discount is a reduction given by creditors to debtors for prompt payment, acting as an expense and income respectively. The document provides examples of journal entries for both discounts. The key difference is that trade discount is deducted from price at sale while cash discount is given and recorded at time of payment.
