A company purchases merchandise with a catalog price of $27,000. The company receives a 40% trade discount from the seller. The seller also offers credit terms of 1/10, n/30. Assuming no returns were made and that payment was made within the discount period, what is the net cost of the merchandise?
A $10962
B $10800
C $15962
D $16200
E $16038
Codt before payment discount = 27000 - 27000*0.40 = $16200
Net cost of the merchandise = 16200 - 16200*0.01 = $16038
Option E. is correct answer.
