Respuesta :

Answer:

Net sales $2,548 and gross profit $948

Explanation:

2/30 means a 2% discount if payment is made within 30 days.  Since the customer paid within the discount period,

net sales will be

The discount amount = 2% of $2600

=2/100 x $2600

=0.02 x $2600

=$52

Net sales:

= $2600 - $52

=$2,548

The gross profit will be the selling price- purchase price.

=$2,548 - $1,600

=$948
