2/10, n/30 means that the customer can take a 2% discount if the amount is paid within 10 days, otherwise the full amount is due within 30 days. FOB shipping point means that the buyer is responsible for shipping costs from the point of shipment. Therefore, if the customer pays within 10 days, they can take a discount of 2%*$25,000 = $500.
