Early Payment Discount

Jones Equipment is a private company that sells and installs HVAC systems. Jones offers payment term of 2/10, n/30 where customers making payment within 10 days of installation will receive a discount of 2% off the purchase price or must pay the full balance due within 30 days. Jones has just received payment from a new customer who paid within the 10-day window and is thus entitled to the 2% discount. The gross sales price of the equipment and installation, before discount, was $10,000. This discount will not result in a loss to Jones on the sale of the product and service. Jones need your help to determine when the 2% early-payment discount should be recognized and how it should be recorded for example, as a reduction in revenue or as a cost of sales?

1. Citing from the guidance support, show the approximate journal entries that Jones would make upon installation of the equipment and upon receipt of customer payment.
