Explanation:
When Tamarisk, Inc. paid the balance due to Culver Company on April 15, the payment is made within the discount period. Thus Tamarisk, Inc is granted a discount of 2% and pays the Account at $33,222 (net of credit granted on merchandise previously returned) .
However, when Tamarisk, Inc. paid the balance due to Culver Company on May 4 instead, the payment is made outside the discount period. Thus Tamarisk, Inc is not granted a discount pays the Account in full at $33,900 (net of credit granted on merchandise previously returned) .
