Solution

The discount for early payment is calculated based on the terms provided, which in this case is 1/10, n/30. This means that the customer can avail a 1% discount if they pay within 10 days.

Here are the steps to calculate the discount:

  1. Identify the total amount of the merchandise sold on account, which is P10,000.
  2. Determine the discount rate, which is 1% (1/10).
  3. Multiply the total amount by the discount rate to get the discount amount.

So, P10,000 * 1% = P100

Therefore, the amount of the discount for early payment would be P100. So, the correct answer is c. P100.
