Answer:
23.68%
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of not taking a cash discount is shown below:-
Cost of not taking a cash discount = [Discount percentage ÷ (100% - Disc.%)] × (360 ÷ (Final due date - Discount period))
= (2% ÷ 98%) × (360 ÷ (50 - 19))
= 2.04% × 11.61
= 23.68%
Therefore for computing the cost of not taking a cash discount we simply applied the above formula.
