### Transaction Analysis: Educational Exercise

---

**Scenario:**

Abbey Co. sold merchandise to Gomez Co. on account for $33,500 under the terms 2/15, net 45. The cost of the merchandise sold was $14,000. Subsequently, Abbey Co. issued a credit memo for $2,800 for defective merchandise, which was not returned to Abbey. Gomez Co. paid the invoice within the discount period. 

**Question:**
What is the gross profit earned by Abbey Co. on these transactions?

**Options:**

- a. $32,830
- b. $16,086
- c. $2,800
- d. $30,086

**Solution Explanation:**

1. **Calculate the Invoice Payment Amount:**

    - Original sale amount: $33,500
    - Discount (2% of $33,500) because Gomez Co. paid within the 15-day discount period:  
      \[
      0.02 \times 33500 = 670
      \]
    - Amount after discount:  
      \[
      33500 - 670 = 32830
      \]

    **Note**: Gomez receives a $2,800 credit for defective merchandise not returned.

2. **Total Receivable after Defective Merchandise Credit:**

    - Amount paid by Gomez Co. after discount and credit memo:  
      \[
      32830 - 2800 = 30030
      \]

3. **Gross Profit Calculation:**

    - Revenue from the sale (after discount and credit): \[30030\]
    - Cost of goods sold: \[14000\]
    - Gross Profit:  
      \[
      30030 - 14000 = 16030
      \]

**However, the question is about gross profit earned, so actual revenue recognized should factor in the original sales less returned value:**

- Net revenue: 
  \[
  33500 - 2800 = 30700
  \]

- Gross Profit adjustment:
  \[
  30700 - 14000 = 16700
  \]

Therefore, the correct gross profit amount is **$16,700**

**Final Answer:**
None of the given options match the correct gross profit of **$16,700**. Ensure to verify calculations according to the standard accounting practices to confirm the correct choice, if mis
