The applicable (pay-in-cash) discount rate equals the discount rate given for a line of credit
Explanation:
Hello,

I'm far from sure, but it seems that the customer is getting a discount rate for paying in cash instead of making payment on a line of credit granted by the company. The company states the discount rate for paying in cash would be equivalent to the discount given for a opening a line of credit.

I hope this helps. It's just a guess.

disagree  rkillings: Not for a 'line of credit'. The cash discount is equivalent to the percentage by which the seller's bank would discount the seller's receivable (=turn it into cash to the seller).

  -> How can you be so sure with so little context? You could be right, but I can't be sure of anything at this point.
