    The company should credited on the Cash account and the Cash Discount Receipt for the settlement of the inventory with 10 days.

    Explanation:

    The detailed entry will be:

    19th Sep

    Dr Account Payable $40,000

    Cr Cash $39,200

    Cr Cash Discount Receipt $800

    (to record payable settlement and the receipt of cash discount)

    Working note: As the company paying with 10 days, the supplier will allow a 2% discount on it net inventory purchase (44,000 - 4,000 = $40,000)

    Thus, the discount will be 40,000 x 2% = $800 and Cash repayment will be 40,000 x (1-2%) = $39,200.
