Answer 1

Assuming that a credit for merchandise returned of $1,000 is granted prior to payment and the invoice is paid within the discount period, the amount of cash that should be received by the seller is (a) $10399

Explanation:

In the first step we will deduct the credit for merchandised return from the merchandise price

=($11,100-1$000)=$10,100 -------(a)

Then we multiply the result by terms (i.e 1/10=.01)

=($10,100*.01)=$101----------(b)

Then we subtract the result of equation a with equation b

($10,100-$101)=$9,999

Then we add the prepaid freight charges to the result obtained

($9,999+$400)=$10399

Answer: $10399
