Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A trade discount is the amount by which a manufacturer reduces the retail price of a product when it sells to a reseller, rather than to the end customer.

Detailed explanation-2: -Trade discounts are usually based on the list price (catalogue price). Sales are recorded based on net price. Net price = List price – Trade discount.

Detailed explanation-3: -Trade Discount Amount = List Price x Trade Discount Percentage. Net Amount Payable = List Price x (1-Trade Discount Percentage) Amount. No calculation required as a seller provides the discount amount.
