$6,142.50
$6,857.50

Answers:
1)
Because the invoice date is between the 1st and 25th of a month, April 9, the discount date on terms of 3/15 EOM would be 15 days after the end of the month of the invoice.
So, discount date = 15 days after the end of April = May 15
2)
The net price is computed as shown below:
= List price x (1 - 0.30) x (1 - 0.25) x (1 - 0.10)
= $ 13,000 x 0.70 x 0.75 x 0.90
= $ 6,142.50
