The correct answer is option (d).

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:

Total purchases = $70,000

Total number of days to pay = 45 days

Total discount = 3%

Discount period = 12 days

So, payment terms can be shown as:

Total discount / Discount period and n / Total number of days to pay

By putting the value, we get

= 3/12 and n/45
