Solution

Sure, let's break down the calculation step by step:

  1. Understand the terms: The terms of 2/10, n/30 mean that X-Mart can take a 2% discount if the payment is made within 10 days. Otherwise, the net (full) amount is due within 30 days.

  2. Determine the payment date: X-Mart purchased the merchandise on June 5 and made the payment on June 11. The payment is made within 10 days (June 11 is 6 days after June 5).

  3. Calculate the discount: Since the payment is made within the discount period, X-Mart is eligible for a 2% discount on the $400 purchase.

    Discount=Purchase Amount×Discount Rate \text{Discount} = \text{Purchase Amount} \times \text{Discount Rate}

    Discount=400×0.02 \text{Discount} = 400 \times 0.02

    Discount=8 \text{Discount} = 8

  4. Conclusion: The purchase discount that may be taken by X-Mart is $8.
