September 18        Cash                                            $3,537.80

                                Sales discount                           $      72.20

                                Accounts Receivable                                            $3,610

Explanation:

Net merchandise sold = 3,950 - 340

= $3,610

Sales discount is 2% if paid in 10 days which Jepson did.

= 2% * 3,610

= $72.20

Cash = Net sales - discount

= 3,610 - 72.20

= $3,537.80
