“Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore.”
Then he asked the second, and you, how much do you owe? A thousand bushels of wheat, he answered. He told him, take your bill and make it eight hundred — the second debtor: a hundred cors of wheat (about 1,000 bushels) reduced to eighty. The 20% reduction is still significant — the manager is creating goodwill while perhaps not exceeding his legal authority to offer discounts.
