Explanation:

2/15 net 45 means that if the customer pays within the period of 15 days, he will get the discount of 2% of invoice amount, otherwise he has to pay the whole amount of invoice within the period of 45 days.

In the given scenario, since the Pound Co. has paid the invoice within the discount period, so therefore, the Pound Co. has availed the discount of 2% and accordingly the sales amount shall be recorded as follows:

Sales amount=Invoice amount*98%

                       =$25,500*98%

                       =$24,990
