Being payment made to accounts payable

Explanation:

The journal entries required for the purchase are as follows:

Dr Inventory  $1500

Cr Accounts payable                  $1500

Being purchase of inventory on account

Since an obligation to pay $1500 is owed to the supplier, accounts payable is credited as an increase in liability and a corresponding debit in inventory account.

Since payment was made within discount period,Conquest company would paid the amount owed less 2% discount;

Amount paid is $1500*98%=$1470

i'ts proportional. if the inflation rate is 12% for example, the cpi will be 12% less.
