Answer 1

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Sales = $27000

Less: sales returned = -$660

Less: discount at 2% = ($27000 - $660) × 2% = -$526.8

Net sales = $25813.2

b. Net sales = $25813.2

Less: cost of goods sold = $15000 - $400 = -$14600

Gross profit = $11213.2

Operating expense:

Less: Selling and administrative expenses = -$2835

Operating income = $8378.2

Non-operating items:

Less: Interest expense = ($200

Add: Gain on land Sales = $900

Net Income= $9078.2

c. The interest expense be shown on the statement of cash flows in the operating expenses section. It'll be recorded in the operating activities.

d. The sale of the land would be under the investing activity as it's capital asset of the business. Therefore, the full sales price of the land, $9,250, would be shown as a cash inflow from investing activities on the statement of cash flows.

Option B is the correct answer.
