These are typically expressed in an abbreviated

will get a 2% discount if you pay in 10 days or
you can pay the Net (N) amount in 30 days.

you must pay in interest each year (e.g.
9% per year).
Liability
The general term for any amount owed to
someone else.
Accounts Payable

at any point in time. This is shown as a
liability on the company’s balance sheet.
