Explanation:

Sales discounts is a discount applied to the actual selling price of an item to reduce the price (as a benefit to the buyer). Sales returns and allowances are values of the items initially sold but returned by the buyer or customer.

Net sales is the difference between the total sales (cash and credit sales) and the total allowances, discounts and returns.
