B. $176 00, $824 00
C. $824.74 $175.26
D. $724.74 $275 26

Answer 1

Answer:

C. $824.74, $175.26

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Amount Credited

The formula to calculate the amount credited =

Amount paid ÷ ( 100% - Discount)

Discount is given in the question as 3/10

Where 3 = Discount rate

Amount paid = $800

Amount credited = 800/( 100% - 3%)

= 800/ 97%

= 800/ 0.97

= $824.74

b) Outstanding balance = Invoice - Amount credited

Invoice = $1000

Amount credited = $824.74

Outstanding balance = $1000 - $824.74

= $175.26
