    The amount of cash required for payment within the discount period is $14454.

    The account payables were due for 16800 after the purchase. When thegoods are returned, the accounts receivables fall by 2200 and the new balance becomes 16800 - 2200 = $14600.

    The discount term states that if payment is made within the next 10 days of purchase, a 1% discount can be availed (1/10).

    If the payment is made in discount period then discount received will be,

    Discount received = 14600 * 1% = $146

    The cash required for payment will be 14600 - 146 = $14454
