Solution
The correct option is D Rs. 9,500 Discount are two types , trade discount and cash discount.
Trade discount is allowed on the list price hence amount of trade discount is not reflected in books of account.
Net price i.e. after deducting trade discount is only recorded in the books of account.
Purchase Price Rs.10000
Less: Trade Discount Rs.500
Net Purchase Price Rs.9500
Hence, Purchase account will be debited by Rs.9500.
