    accounts payable 15 debit

    merchandise inventory 15 credit

    Explanation:

    the price deduction will reduce the amount due to the supplier. Also this will represent the decrease in the value of the merchandise so the merchandise inventory account should decrease in the magnitude.

    The account payable is a liability to make it decrease we post on debit

    while, the merchandise is an asset therefore it should be credited.
