Respuesta :

Answer:

The amount received in cash is $2,328

Explanation:

The amount which is received in cash is computed as:

On January 20, the amount of $600 goods returns from customer, so the remaining balance is

= $3,000 - $600

= $2,400

On the remaining balance, the discount which is evaluated as the payment is received within the discount period which is January 25. So,

= $2,400 x  (100% - 3%)

= $ 2,400 x  97%

= $ 2,328
