Answer: The amount of the discount is not material.

Explanation:

Short-term receivables as the term implies, are short term which means that they are to be received within the period/ year. When discounted therefore, the value will more or less be the same because the discounting period will be so small.

Whatever the difference between the discounted value and the original value is, it will most probably not be material enough for ignoring the practice mentioned to be an issue.
