Respuesta :

Answer: d. The invoice amount is greater than $3,300 and less than $3,400.

Explanation:

The terms of the sale are FOB destination, 2/10, n/30. This means that company B will get a 2% discount if they pay in 10 days, if not, they will have to pay in 30 days.

The goods were sold at a list price of $4,200.

Company B returned $750 according to the Credit memo from Company A.

This reduces the transaction amount by that credit memo,

= 4,200 - 750

= $3,450

It is stated that Company B paid within the discount period which was 10 days so they get the discount for a total balance of,

= 3,450 * (1 - 2%)

= $3,381

The answer therefore is option D.
