George Jacobs · Answer 1

The customer should pay $48.5

Explanation:

Terms of sale 3/10, n/30 means there is a discount of 3% is available on payment of due amount within discount period of 10 days after sale with net credit period of 30 days.

As per given data

Sale = $100

Sales return = $50

Receivable = $100 - $50 = $50

As the payment is made within discount period, so discount will be availed on the amount due

Discount = $50 x 3% = $15

Payment by Customer = $50 - $1.5 = $48.5
