1)Purchase is an expense to the Business on the other hand Discount received is Income to the Business . Can not mixed thoughter and show only Discounted purchase price .

2) As per the law we have to show all expenses incurred to earn profit or Income . Therefore we can not show only Income . To determine correct Income or profit we have to show all expenses incurred .
