Answer:

The answer is B.

Explanation:

The term 2/10,n/30 means Toys R Fun is given a discount of 2 percent if he pays within 10 days and the payable is due in 30 days.

2 percent of $1000 is $20 (2% of $1,000).

The payment is made on the 17th which is the within the discount days.

Dr Accounts Payable $1,000

Cr cash $980

Cr merchandise inventory $20.

But let's assume the payment is not made on that day and it is made on December 30. The entry will be:

Dr Accounts Payable $1,000

Cr cash $1,000
