8. Answer: c. Sales Discount
Sellers define credit terms for a sale on account to a buyer wherein the buyer is given a discount if he makes the payment within a certain number of days. This is known as a sales discount. A sales discount is thus offered by a seller to the buyer for early payment. Hence, option c. is the correct answer.
9. Answer: b. $25,088
Sales under net method = $25600 – (2% x $25600) = $25600 - $512 = $25088
10. Answer: b. Improved matching of bad debt expense with revenue.
Under the allowance method, estimates are used for determining the expected uncollectible accounts and recording the bad debt expense in the same period in which the sales to which the uncollectible receivables pertain are recorded. This provides a better matching of the expense with the revenues in accordance with the matching principle of accounting and is hence also in accordance with the GAAP. Hence, option b. is the correct answer.
