Keyla · Answer 1

Correct option is A

Explanation:

Invoiced purchases are $ 3,000, out of which $ 800 worth of goods were returned, and an extra shipping charge of $ 250 needs to be paid.

Total amount of the invoice 3,000

Add: Shipping Charges 250

Less: Value of goods return (800)

Amount to be paid $2,450

There will be no discount to be deducted because the invoice was not paid within the 10 days discount period.

$2,450
