A. $2280
B. $2328
C. $4000
D. $2400

Answer 1

Answer:

Amount of cash flow will be $2328

So option (B) will be the correct answer

Explanation:

We have given total merchandise = $4000

And return merchandise = $1600

Here $\frac{3}{10}$ means if Sheridan Company makes the payment within 10 days then he will get discount of 3 % as in the question he makes the payment within 10 days so he will will get 3 % discount

Now amount of cash received = total merchandise - return merchandise

= $4000 - $1600 = $2400

Now discount is 3 %

So after discount amount received $=2400-2400\times 0.03=2400-72= 2328$

So option (B) will be the correct answer
