for Mom & Pop Shop

Answer 1

Final amount due = Cost of goods purchased - Cost of goods returned

= 25,000 - 5,000

= $20,000

Discount amount = Final amount due x Discount percentage

= 20,000 x 3/10

= $600

Cash payment to be made = Final amount due - Discount amount

= 20,000 - 600

= $19,400

Freight charges of $600 will be paid by the seller.
