Answer 1

Answer:

a. $30,400

b. $10,394

c. $16,830

d. $8,015

e. $76,626

Explanation:

a. Amount to be paid in full settlement = Merchandise - Returns and Allowance

= ($32,000 - $1,600)

= $30,400

b. Amount to be paid in full settlement = (Merchandise - Returns and Allowance) - (Remaining balance × 2%) + Freight Paid by Seller

= ($12,800 - $2,500) - ($10,300 × 2%) + $300

= $10,300 - $206 + $300

= $10,394

c. Amount to be paid in full settlement = (Merchandise - Returns and Allowance) - (Remaining balance × 1%)

= ($21,000 - $4,000) - (17,000 × 1%)

= $17,000 - $170

= $16,830

d. Amount to be paid in full settlement = (Merchandise - Returns and Allowance) - (Remaining balance × 2%) + Freight Paid by Seller

= ($9,000 - $1,000) - ($8,000 × 2%) + $175

= $8,000 - $160 + $175

= $8,015

e. Amount to be paid in full settlement = Merchandise - (Merchandise × 1%)

= $77,400 - ($77,400 × 1%)

= $77,400 - $774

= $76,626
