Cash Discounts
Cash Discounts Cash discounts are offered to retailers by manufacturers/wholesalers as an incentive for prompt payment. Typical terms of payment would be 2/10, n/30. This means that the buyer is entitled to deduct 2% of the invoice amount if paid within 10 days. Otherwise, the net amount of invoice is due in 30 days. Another type of discount is termed “anticipation” where the buyer is entitled to the 2% discount plus an additional discount of a percentage of the invoice balance if paid within 60 days.
This calculation finds the standard and anticipated discounts, and the net invoice amount when discount rates (terms), amount of invoice, and dates of invoice and payment are known. Information is entered as follows:
1 Enter invoice amount, press SAVE .
2 Enter standard discount rate, press % to obtain amount of discount.
3 Press to obtain balance.
4 Enter anticipation discount rate, press %.
5 Enter days remaining, press ×.
6 Enter number of days used as interest base (either 360 or 365), press ÷ to obtain the amount of anticipation discount.
7 Press to obtain net invoice amount.
