The amount of cash received will be the net of discounts and sales returns.
Given,
the sales = $ 2,000
The sales return = $ 800
The discount will be allowed only if the payment is made within the discounts period i.e. 10 days. The sales were made in 15th July and Payment is made on 24th July, thus Carson company is eligible for the discount. The discount will be calculated on the sales net of returns
Net sales = $ 2,000 - $ 800 = $ 1200
Discount = 2 % X $ 1,200 = $ 24
The cash received = $ 2,000 - $ 800 - $ 24 = $ 1,176
