    The amount of discount that will be taken is $176.

    Explanation

    The amount of discount that will be taken shall be based on the value of accounts payable that is eligible for payment after the final adjustments have been made.

    The accounts receiveable amount after adjustment of returned purchases and defective goods is calculated below;

    Accounts receiveable and eligeable for payment = Purchase inventory-Returned inventory purchase - Allowance for defective inventory

    Therefore;

    Accounts receiveable and eligeable for payments = $11,000 - $2,100 - $110

    =$8,790

    Therefore;

    The account payable that is eligible for discount amount is $8,790*0.02

    =175.8

    =$176. Rounded to the nearest dollar amount.
