The toy buyer had the option of ordering stuffed animals directly from the manufacturer or from a nearby wholesaler. The manufacturer will not ship orders for less than $1,200 total list price. Delivery typically requires five weeks, and freight averages 2.5% of total billed cost. Trade discounts on the merchandise are 40% and 10%; terms are 2/10, n/30. A wholesaler located in the retailer's area stocks many of the same stuffed animals. he does not require a minimum order and will deliver at no charge in the area if the order has a total billed cost of at least $500. The manufacturer and wholesaler base cost on the same list price; however the wholesaler sells with trade discounts of 40% and 8% and terms of 1/15, n/30.
