Step-by-step explanation:

A corresponding cost of sales must be recorded each time a sale is made. The freight costs are company costs for Sievert Co. and will be expensed in the income statement.

The payment due is at 90 % after the discount of 10% given that the payment is made within the credit term of 30 days.
