Explanation:

Perpetual mehod;

          10,100 x (1 - 10%) = 9,090

           2,600 x (1 - 10%) = 2,340

balance   9,090 - 2,340 = 6,750

discount 6,750 x 3% = 202.5

Period method:

purhcase 10,100

return 2,600

discount and allowance: 7,500 - 6,547.5 = 952.5

Both perpetual and periodic inventory systems record purchase prices after trade discounts, there is no ledger account for trade discounts. In this case, both systems record the initial purchase at $10,100 x 90% = $9,090. The difference between both systems is that periodic system uses the purchases account while perpetual uses the inventory account directly.

The main difference between perpetual and periodic inventory systems is when COGS are determined, since perpetual inventory calculates COGS after each sale, instead, the periodic inventory calculates COGS at the end of the accounting period.
