2. It means that if Expert Computers opt to pay for merchandise inventory within 10 days than they can avail the discount of 2%, otherwise they will be paying net amount in 30 days.

3. A/C Payable Balance = $70,000

Paid 1 Half = $70,000 x 1/2 = $35,000

Discount = $35,000 x 2% = $700

Cash Decrease by = $35,000 - $700 = $34,300

4. It means that if the buyer pays the amount within 20 days of the purchase than Expert Computers will give 1% discount, otherwise full amount needs to be paid within 30 days.

5. This is the cost of goods sold.

6. Account Receivables = $56,900

Discount Allowed = $56,900 x 1% = $569

Cash = $56,900 - $569 = $56,331

8. Since the discount is not availed as payment to vendor made within 30 days. Hence, the remaining amount of current liability will balance out with $35,000.
