C's claim is correct. Please find calculation below. | |
Calculation as per C | Amount $ |

Less: Goods returned | 10,000.00 |
Net Value of merchandise sold | 120,000.00 |
Less: Trade Discount at 5% | 6,000.00 |
Net Value of merchandise sold | 114,000.00 |
Less: Cash Discount at 2% | 2,280.00 |
Amount Receivable | 111,720.00 |
Less: Freight paid | 5,000.00 |
