Answer 1

Answer:

$33,500

Explanation:

The Cash Required for Payment to Supplier is The Purchases Price less Credit Allowance and Cash Discount granted since Piedmont Company pays the invoice within the discount period.

If Piedmont Company had paid invoice out of  the discount period we would only deduct the Credit Allowance from the Purchase Price.

Cash Required for Payment Calculation :

Purchase Price                                        $45,000

Less Credit Allowance                            ($7,000)

Less Cash Discount $45,000 x 10%      ($4,500)

Cash Required for Payment                   $33,500
