Explanation:

The journal entry is shown below:

Account payable A/c Dr $18,000

     To Cash A/c $17,640

     To Inventory A/c $360

(Being the payment is recorded)

The computation of the account payable

= Purchased goods - returned goods

= $20,000 - $2,000

= $18,000

And, the discount would be

= Accounts payable × percentage given

= $18,000 × 2%

= $360
