Answer 1

Given:
march 12 - Klein company, inc. sold merchandise in the amount of $7,800 to Babson company, with credit terms of 2/10, n/30
march 15 - Babson returns some of the merchandise. the selling price of the merchandise is $600
march 20 - Babson pays the invoice and takes the appropriate discount.

Since March 20 is still within the 10-day discount from date of purchase, Babson is entitled to 2% discount.

7,800 - 600 = 7,200 sales invoice
7,200 * 2% = 144 sales discount
7,200 - 144 = 7,056 net sales

Babson will pay the amount of $7,056
