Answer:

check amount is $4,554

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

sells account = $5800

credit terms = 1/10, n/30

Company returns = $1200

to find out

amount of the check

solution

we know here Net Sales that is

Net Sales = sells account - Company returns ................1

put here value

Net Sales= $5,800 - $1200

Net Sales = $4,600

and

Discount will be here

Discount = 1% of Net Sales

Discount = $4,600 × 1%

Discount = 46

so check amount will be here

check amount = Net Sale - Discount

check amount = 4600 - 46

so that check amount is $4,554
