  2. Calculating Net Cost after discounts: • Cash Discounts: offered by seller to encourage prompt payment • Net = List – Trade – Cash Cost Price Discount Discount

  3. The Ordinary Dating Method • Notation: 2/10, n/30 or 2/10, net 30 • Means: 2% discount if paid in 10 days, the total is due in 30 days. • AFTER 10 days, 2% discount does not apply! • AFTER 30 days, payment is overdue and late charges may be added!

  4. To determine if a cash discount is earned: • Check the date on the invoice and consider the # of days the discount is in play. • You must know how many days are in each month. (See p 250)

Find (A) the last date on which the 3% discount can be taken and (B) the net payment date. • An invoice is received for $2830.15, dated March 21, and offers 3/15, n/30. If the invoice is paid on April 4 and the shipping & insurance charges are 124.96, find the amount due.

  6. Postdating & Cash Discounts • Invoices may be postdated to offer more time for the discount. • i.e. 07/25 AS OF 08/01 • Means: invoice was dated July 25, but the discount and net payment date are calculated as of Aug 1.
