    3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A. $100

    C. $43
    D. $33<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Correct Answer and Explanation is :<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The correct answer to question 140<\/strong> is B. $30<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    To calculate the purchase discount, we need to determine how much of the invoice amount is subject to the 2% discount<\/strong> and apply it accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 1: Determine the Eligible Amount for Discount<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • The total invoice amount is $2,150<\/strong>, which includes a $150 prepaid freight cost<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Freight costs are not subject to the purchase discount<\/strong> because the discount applies only to the merchandise cost.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Therefore, the merchandise cost before returns is: $2,150 – $150 = $2,000<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Step 2: Adjust for Merchandise Returns<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • A $500 return<\/strong> was made, reducing the total merchandise cost that qualifies for the discount.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • The net purchase amount after the return is: $2,000 – $500 = $1,500<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Step 3: Apply the Purchase Discount<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • The purchase discount is 2% (2\/10, net 30),<\/strong> meaning a 2% discount is available if the payment is made within 10 days.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Since the payment is made within the discount period, we calculate: Discount = $1,500 \u00d7 2% = $30<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          Thus, the correct answer is B. $30<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Summary:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • The discount applies only to the merchandise cost<\/strong>, not the freight<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Returns reduce the merchandise cost before calculating the discount.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • A 2% discount on the remaining $1,500<\/strong> results in a discount of $30<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            This is a key concept in accounting for purchases<\/strong> and shows how cash discounts encourage early payment<\/strong>, saving money for the buyer while benefiting the seller through faster cash flow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
