Explanation:

Credit discounts are offered by suppliers to realized receivables early than the credit period by offering customers some discount. The terms of payment are decided at the time of sell. The Blossom Company has purchased from Kingbird Company on terms of 2/10, n/30. This means 2% discount will be offered on invoice price if the payment is made within 10 days. The journal entry at the time of purchase will be recorded as accounts payable for complete invoice amount and discount is not incorporated in the entry because it is not realized.
