Answer 1

Answer:

The amount received in cash is $686

Explanation:

On June 20, the amount of $300 goods returns from customer, so the remaining balance is

= $1,000 - $300

= $700

On the remaining balance, the discount which is evaluated as the payment is received within the discount period which is June 24. So,

= $700 x  (100% - 2%)

= $ 700 x  98%

= $ 686
