    Amount to be credited = $2,020

    Outstanding balance = $480

    Explanation:

    The payment terms state that

    3% discount may be taken within 10 days of the invoice date (up to May 20); or 1% discount may be taken within 15 days of the invoice date (after May 20 but not later than May 25); or The net amount is due within 60 days of the invoice date if advantage is not taken of the cash discounts offered. The 3% cash discount is not applicable as the payment was made on May 22 which is after the end of the discount period. However, the 1% discount is allowed, since payment on May 22 is within the 15-day period for the 1% discount.

    Amount to be credited

    = 2000 / (1-0.01)

    = 2000 / (0.99)

    = $2,020

    Outstanding balance

    = 2500 - 2020

    = $480
