A
$0.05
B
$1.03
C
$21.77
D
$22.80
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Another way of finding the net price is the complement method. The complement of your trade-discount rate is 100 percent minus the discount rate. This is sometimes called the net-price rate. You can multiply the list price by the complement to find the net price.

Detailed explanation-2: -Net price is what a customer pays. To calculate the net price, start with the list price and add any taxes and other government-mandated charges. Then subtract any discounts, rebates or negotiated prices.

Detailed explanation-3: -Trade discounts are usually based on the list price (catalogue price). Sales are recorded based on net price. Net price = List price – Trade discount. Therefore, trade discounts are not recorded in the books of accounts.

Detailed explanation-4: -5% is a trade discount that rewards a bulk payment. 5% is a cash discount that rewards an early invoice payment within 30 days.
