Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the amount is shown below:

a. For FOB destination

= Merchandise price - Returns and allowances - discount

= $6,700 - $1,750 - ($6,700 - $1,750 )× 2%

= $6,700 - $1,750 - $99

= $4,851

b. For FOB shipping point

= Merchandise price - Returns and allowances - discount + Freight In

= $3,300 - $1,200 - ($3,300 - $1,200) × 1% + $200

= $3,300 - $1,200 - $21 + $200

= $2,279
