On March 2, Blue Ribbon sold $887,400 of merchandise to Lumberyard Inc. with terms 2/10, n/30. The cost of the merchandise sold was $571,700. Lumberyard Inc. pays the balance owed on March 11.

Required:
How much does Lumberyard pay on March 11?

Answer 1

Payment will be = $869652

Step-by-step explanation:

The terms of the credit sale to Lumberyard were 2/10, n/30 which means that Lumberyard was entitled to receive a 2% discount if the payment is made within 10 days of purchase of merchandise while the total credit period was of 30 days. As Lumberyard has paid the balance owed on 11 March and within the discount period, the amount paid by Lumberyard and the discount received will be,

Discount received = 887400 * 0.02 = $17748

Payment will be = 887400 - 17748 = $869652
