Please see explanation column for answer.

Explanation:

Net purchase per unit =  List price per unit - Trade discount

             $300 - ( 300 x 20 %) =  300- (300 x 0.2)= 300 -60= $240

Total purchase amount = Number of units x Net purchase per unit

                                            190 x 240=  $45,600

Discount from purchase = Total purchase amount x  discount percentage/ 100

=45,600 x 4/100=  $1,824

Cash =  $45,600

Discount = $1,824

Accounts payable = $43,776
