Answer:

Option D $97,020

Explanation:

The reaon is that the maximum discount is 2%, $200 savings on the cost of ship and $1000 can be claimed. This means that the inventory actually costs is:

Cost of the inventory before discount = $100,000 - $1000 Allowance

= $99,000

The discount on the inventory would be 2%

Net Activity = $99,000 Before discount - $99,000*2% = $97,020

So the option D is the correct answer.
