Jones Manufacturing sent Blue Company an invoice for equipment with a list price of $10,000. The invoice is dated July 27 with terms of 2/10, EOM. Blue Company is entitled to a 40% trade discount. If the invoice is paid on September 8, how much does Blue pay?

Amount to be paid = $6,000

Explanation:

Trade discount is the reduction in the list price granted to a buyer. A 40% trade discount implies that Blue would have to pay only 60% of the list price.

The amount due for settlement = 10,000 - (40%× 10,000)= $6,000.

The  term 2/10 implies that Jones is entitled to a cash a discount of 2% if it settles its invoice within 10 days following the invoice date. The deadline settlement date to receive the discount would therefore be August 6.

Since the account was settled on September 8 which is later than the deadline date set to qualify for the cash settlement discount, Blue would have to pay $6,000.

Amount to be paid = $6,000

its kinda hard to answer this when we dont have all the information that we need.

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
