If Rolfes Company pays the invoice within the discount period, what is the amount of cash required for the payment? If required, round the answer to the nearest dollar.

Answer 1

Answer:

$6,237

Explanation:

The computation of the cash required for the payment is shown below:

= Merchandise amount - return and allowances - discount

= $7,500 - $1,200 - $63

= $6,237

The discount = (Merchandise amount - return and allowances) × discount rate

= ($7,500 - $1,200) × 1%

= $63

Simply we consider the items i.e merchandise purchase amount, returned merchandise amount and the discount given amount
