Explanation:

The sale terms "510, n30" mean:

"5" represents the discount percentage, which is 5% in this case.

"10" represents the number of days in the discount period.

"n30" means that the net payment is due in 30 days.

Since LeeCo. is paying within the discount period, they are entitled to a 5% discount on the list price. Here's how you can calculate the payment:

Calculate the discount:

Discount = List Price x Discount Percentage

Discount = $5,600 x 0.05 = $280

Subtract the discount from the list price to find the discounted price:

Discounted Price = List Price - Discount

Discounted Price = $5,600 - $280 = $5,320

Add the prepaid freight to the discounted price:

Total Amount Due = Discounted Price + Prepaid Freight

Total Amount Due = $5,320 + $80 = $5,400

So, LeeCo. pays Macy $5,400.
