Trade Credit terms usually require payment within which timeframes?

• A. 15 days
• B. 30 days
• C. 30, 60, and 90 days
• D. 180 days

Answer: (C)

Trade credit terms determine when payment is due after delivery. Suppliers often offer different windows to pay in order to help buyers manage cash flow, and the common ranges include 30, 60, or 90 days. So, the option that lists 30, 60 and 90 days reflects this typical flexibility in payment terms. A 15-day term is unusually short for standard trade credit, a 30-day term alone doesn’t show the extended options, and 180 days is much longer than normal supplier credit.
