1) Discounts allowed by trade creditors amounted to $5000 and those allowed to trade debtors $2000

2) Cheques drawn payable to trade creditors, but not presented at December 31, 2012 amounted to $4000 and at December 31, 2015 $6000

How would you record the above two using t-accounts or the appropriate accounts. Please help me !!

Yes, Your Creditor allowed you $5000 discount, it means you have received the Discount and Your debtor Discount $2000 that means, Discount Allowed.

2nd transaction belong to Bank Reconciliation. Both checks issued but not presented or cashed. So we will add back in the cash book. Because these are not presented in Pass Book. We can just made changes in our side. We can do any thing in Pass Book
