Question

On 1st January 2013, Sankar sold goods worth ₹ 20,000 to Bhaskar on credit and drew a bill for 3 months for the same amount. Bhaskar accepted the bill and returned it to Sankar. On the same day Sankar discounted the bill with his bank at 10% per annum. On the due date, the bill is honoured. Pass Journal entries in the books of Sankar.

> Sankar is the drawer. He sells goods on credit, receives Bhaskar's acceptance as a Bills Receivable, and at once discounts it with his bank. Discount = 20,000 x 10% x 3/12 = Rs 500, so the bank credits Rs 19,500. Because the bill was discounted, the bank (not Sankar) collects it on maturity; since it is honoured, no further entry is needed in Sankar's books.

> **Discount calculation:** 20,000 x 10/100 x 3/12 = Rs 500. Net cash received = 20,000 − 500 = Rs 19,500.
