Question

An invoice for $2,300 has terms of 2/10-30X, net 60, FOB factory, anticipation permitted. The vendor prepaid shipping charges of $34.00. The invoice was dated August 29 and was paid on Sepember 24. how much should the vendor have received?

I am confused about the extra net 60 and taking into account the "anticipation permitted". I would ignore the prepaid shipping charges. Therefore, my answer would be: $2,254. Simply applying the 2% discount for paying by September 24th. So, how does the extra net 60 and anticipation permitted come into play, and how then, is this problem calculated? Thank you!

Explanation / Answer

where as 2/10-30X means the bill can be paid in 10 days plus 30 extra days (total of 40 days) from date of invoice in order to have 2% discount
In this case Invoice date = 29 August so 10 days after invoice is 8th september plus 30 days means 8th october

Net 60 means the amount should be paid in 60 days from the invoice date that is 20 days after the discount period

so the discount of 2 % can be received on the invoice here

Discount = 2% * 2,300 = $46
Vendor should receive = net cost - discount = $2,300 - $46 = $2,254
