Expert Answer
Since the discount term is agreed for 2% if the payment is made within 10 days and since the payment is not made within 10 days, discount cannot be availed.
Total amount to be paid = $2600-$250 = $2350
Since the freight charges were paid by Bravo company, no entry will be made in the books of Alpha company.
The entry will be
Accounts payable $2600
Purchase returns $250
Cash $2350
