2.) "Of the balance of $30,000, $330 is incorrect because on December 19 we returned a printer when we found that we didn't need it. We ordered it in the middle of November when we had anticipated a need for it. When we received the printer, we realized it was unnecessary and returned it unopened."

On January 15, 2017, they processed the discount and credited the account for $540.
