The question is not entirely correct, the discount is actually 2% not 3%

The correct answer is A,$196,000

Explanation:

The amount the Stowe-Arts Holdings co would receive from the customer is the invoice price less 3% of the invoice price as computed below:

cash receipt=invoice amount * (1-3%)

amount of cash=$200,000 * (1-2%) = $196,000

The 3% produced an answer is not included as one of the options
