Answer 1

Answer:

so correct option is a. $784

Explanation:

given data

Merchandise on account = $1,000

Long Company returns  = $200

credit terms =  2/10

n/30

to find out

What is the amount of the check

solution

we know here that Total Merchandise will be

Total Merchandise = Merchandise on account  - returns   ....................1

Total Merchandise = $1000 - $200

Total Merchandise = $800

and

discount will be here

Discount = 0.02  ×  800

returns = $16

so

Amount of Check will be as

Amount of Check = Total Merchandise - Discount   ...................2

put here value

Amount of Check = Total Merchandise - Discount  

Amount of Check = $800 - $16

Amount of Check = $784

so correct option is a. $784
