Correct Answer: Option C

Explanation

This means the discount allowed was in surplus of N10,000. The discount allowed is an expense of the seller and it is recorded on the debit side of the seller's book. To correct this error, we will enter a corresponding N10,000 amount on the credit side of the book to cancel the excess amount.
