Question

An invoice of $600 for merchandise purchased is showing 3​/15, ​n/30 as terms of credit. If the invoice is paid on or before the fifteenth day after the invoice​ date, the amount to be paid is​ ________.

Answer 1

Amount Payable or paid = $582

Step-by-step explanation:

The terms of purchase state that the buyer will be entitled to a 3% cash discount if the payment for the purchases is made within 15 days of the purchase or invoice date.

Thus, if the payment is made on or within the fifteen days of invoice date, the cash discount that will be received is,

Discount = 600 * 0.03 = $18

So, the amount that will be payable for the merchandise will be,

Amount Payable or paid = 600 - 18 = $582
