Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation

A cash discount is a discount allowed to the customer, when he/she makes a cash payment of the goods purchased, within the stipulated time. This means Mr. Bacus will receive a 2% discount from Mr. Awala if payment is made within 10 days of purchase.

We are going to calculate the quantity discount and cash discount respectively.

Selling price = 100
Quantity bought on credit = 1500
Total amount owed = 100 x 1500 = 150,000
 

3% discount for 1500 units

0.03 x 1500 = 45

Quantity discount = 45 x 100 = 4500

 

Cash discount of 2/10 net 30
= \(\frac{2}{100}\) x 150,000 = 3000

4500 + 3500 = 7500
