    C) Represent Cash Discounts

    Explanation:

    Cash discount refers to a reduction in the price with the objective being prompt payment. A cash discount when offered by a seller is termed as a sales discount.

    For example, so as to initiate prompt payment from the buyers, sellers may offer a discount such as 2% if the payment is made within 10 days when the ordinary extended credit period is 30 days.

    Such a discount is usually offered by the seller when he/she is low on cash and there is immediate requirement of cash.

    A sales discount leads to reduction of gross sales as it is deducted from gross sales to reveal net sales made by a firm during a period.
