Answer 1

Total purchase price= $323,650

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchase price= $295,000

Installation= $3,900

Concrete for installation= $15,900

The total cost of the machine includes the purchase price and all costs required to put it into operation. Taxes are part of the purchase cost.

First, we need to calculate the net cash discount:

Net discount= 295,000 * 0.03= $8,850

Now, the total purchase price:

Total purchase price= (295,000 - 8,850) + 17,700 + 3,900 + 15,900

Total purchase price= $323,650
