Respuesta :

Answer: $3,564.50

Explanation:

The total amount that the company will pay for the merchandise is the net cost of the merchandise, less a 3% cash discount, plus the transportation costs. The cash discount normally only applies to the merchandise and not the transportation costs.

The cost of the merchandise is $3,600 less the $250 refund, which equals $3,350. With a 3% cash discount they will pay 97% of this amount, which is $3,249.50. After adding the additional transportation charge of $315, the total amount to be paid is $3,564.50.
