Explanation:

(1) we discount 10% of the list price

11,300 x (1 - 0.1) = 10,170

(2) as is a gross price we discount the trade-in discount

2,600 x (1 - 0.1) = 2,340

(3) we solve for the balance of the account: 10,170 - 2,340 = 7,830

Now, the inventory will be lowered as we pay within discount period:

7,830 x 0.03 = 234.9

Cash 7,830 - 234.9 = 7,595.1
