Explanation:

Credit terms of 2/10, n/30 means there is a discount of 2% is available on payment of due amount within discount period of 10 days after sale with net credit period of 30 days.

According to given data

Sales = $3,000

As the payment is made within discount period, so discount will be availed

Discount  = $3,000 x 2% = $60

Now deduct the discount from due balance to calculate the amount received.

Amount Received = $3,000 - $60 = $2,940
