Solution
Credit term is 3/10, n/30
If the balance is paid before 10 days, company will get 3% discount, otherwise it has to pay entire amount before 30 days.
Bill amount is 9000, however 1000 worth of goods has been returned, so bill amount is 8000.
The entire amount is paid on July 14, however bill date was June 5, so there will be 3% discount on the total bill amount.
Discount = 8000* 0.03 = 240
Total amount paid after discount = 8000 – 240 = 7760
Correct answer is B.
