END OF QUESTION​

Answer 1

a) 6,730.40

b) 418

c) 131.10

Step-by-step explanation:

price after trade discount:

printer = 500 x (1 - 12%) = 440

toner = 150 x (1 - 8%) = 138

since the invoice was paid during the discount period, the total amount paid on December 30 was [(440 x 10) + (20 x 138)] x (1 - 5%) = 6,730.40

net price per unit:

printer = 440 x 0.95 = 418

toner = 138 x 0.95 = 131.10

d) total cost including operating expenses = (6,730.40 x 1.15) = 7,739.96

selling price = 7,739.96 / 0.75 = 10,319.95 ≈ 10,320

e) (printer + toner) x 1.15 = (418 + 131.10) x 1.15 = 631.465

selling price of 1 printer and 1 toner = 631.465 / 0.75 = 841.95 ≈ 842

f) yes, a profit was made since the original selling price was calculated assuming a 25% net profit, and the discount was only 15%
