"Mr. Tan,
This is Patricia Sakamoto from your on-line ACC201 class. I have a question with E2-2:
I've got Part a and b, for Part c and d, I am quite lost and kept getting the incorrect answers. Here's what I've got for Part c so far::
50 units X $20 = $1,000
$1,000 X 2% discount = $20
The discount amount I've calculated was $20 but Wiley+ indicates that my answer is incorrect. I only have one more chance remaining on this question. Can you please help me with it?
For Part d, I don't even know how to get started and I wondered if you can give me some hints as well.
Thank you!"
