Answer: answer is not in the option.

The cash paid on June 24 equals $8,939

Explanation:

Amount due to be paid = Cost of Goods purchased - Cost of goods returned  on June 20

= 9,700 - 485

= $ 9,215

Discount 0f 3% in 10 days = amount due x  Discount percentage

= 9,215 x  3% ( 0.03)

= $ 276.45

Payment to be made on June 24 = Cash amount due - Discount amount

= 9,215 - 276.45

= $ 8938.55 ≈$8,939
