Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A buying allowance is a temporary price reduction given to resellers for purchasing specified quantities of a product. This fits the description of what Tyler is negotiating for as a purchasing agent. The other options are not applicable in this scenario - push money allowance is typically given to salespeople to motivate them to sell more, a merchandise allowance is a discount on a particular product and a buy-back allowance is an agreement to buy unsold goods back from a retailer. A discount is a general term that does not specify any terms or conditions for the reduction in price.
