Verified step by step guidance

Understand the concept of a trade discount: A trade discount is a reduction in the list price of goods granted by a seller to a buyer. It is typically offered for bulk purchases or to special customers, and it is not related to penalties, fees, or early payment incentives.

Eliminate incorrect options: Review the provided options and identify which ones do not align with the definition of a trade discount. For example, penalties for late payment, bank fees for processing transactions, and cash payments for early invoice settlement are unrelated to trade discounts.

Focus on the correct option: The correct answer is the one that describes a reduction in the list price of goods granted by a seller to a buyer, usually for bulk purchases or to special customers.

Relate the concept to real-world scenarios: Think of examples where businesses offer trade discounts, such as wholesalers providing discounts to retailers for purchasing large quantities of goods.

Summarize the key takeaway: A trade discount is a pricing strategy used by sellers to incentivize buyers, particularly for bulk purchases or to reward loyal customers.
