b. $8,140

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

= Merchandise amount - return and allowances - discount + freight charges

= $10,000 - $2,000 - $160 + $300

= $8,140

The discount = (Merchandise amount - return and allowances) * discount rate

= ($10,000 - $2,000) * 2%

= $160

Simply we deduct the returned inventory and discount expense and added the freight charges to the merchandise amount
