Answer: Rs 63750

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Atul purchased goods costing Rs 50000 at an invoice price,which is 50% above cost. Then the purchase of the goods cost:

= 50000 × (100% + 25%)

= 50000 × 125%

= 50000 × 1.25

= Rs 75000

We then deduct the trade discount of 15% to get the purchase price to be recorded in the book. This will be:

= 75000 × (100% - 15%)

= 75000 × 85%

= 75000 × 0.85

= 63750

Therefore, the answer is Rs63750
