Answer for question no.1:

Journal entry to be made on receipt of the cash from debtors is as follows:

Therefore, the answer is Option d, sales discount will be debited for $30.

Answer for question no.2:

Opening stock+purchases - closing stock = Cost of goods sold

Opening stock =$550,000

Given purchases =$2,250,000

Sales =$3,200,000

Gross profit =30% on sales therefore, cost of goods sold=70% of sales

=$3,200,000 *70%

=$2,240,000.

Substituting the values in the above formula

$550,000+$2,250,000 - $2,240,000. =Closing stock

Closing stock =$560,000-------(A)

Physical inventory is showing $500,000.-----------------(B)
