    Net Sales $2720

    Explanation:

    Hancock Corporation

    Jan 6: Sales $ 1500

    Add Jan 6 Sales $ 850

    Less Jan 14 Sales Discount $ 30 (2% of $ 1500)

    Add Feb 28: Sales $ 400

    Net Sales $2720

    Only a 2% discount is given on the cash received on Jan 14 on the sales made on JAn 6 to S. Green because the cash is received within the first ten days of sales made. The cash received on Feb 2 is not given the sales discount as it is received after ten days of the sales made. That is sales were done on Jan 6 to M. Munoz. with the terms 2/10, n/30 meaning discount will be given within the first ten days. But as the payment was on Feb 2 almost 17 days later the discount is not given.

    The term 2/10 n/30 means a two percent discount will be given if sales were paid within the first ten days. So a discount is given to S. Green but not M. Munoz as payment is done after 10 days.
