Answer:
the discount rate should be 10%
Explanation:
The computation of the discount rate should be given below:
The Amount of discount is is
= $50,000 - $48,750
= $ 1,250
The $1,250 should be for 90 days.
So for 360 days, it should be
= $1,250 × 4
= $5,000.
And, the discount rate is
= $5,000 ÷ 50,000 × 100
= 10%
Hence, the discount rate should be 10%
