O Level Accounting (7707)•7707/12/O/N/23

Explanation
Insufficient information to calculate the exact discount Steps:
- List price of goods is $1000.
- Andy paid $700 after a 5% prompt payment discount.
- The 5% discount applies to an unspecified base amount (likely the net invoice after any trade discount).
- Without the base for the 5%, the prompt discount amount cannot be determined; total saving from list price is $300, but not an option.
Why C is correct:
- Not enough information; C may assume a different payment amount like 200, but given numbers do not support this.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: 5% of 40, but no $800 base given.
- B: 5% of 90, arbitrary base.
- D: Approximate trade discount if cash base ~263, not $278.
Final answer: Not enough information.
