Question

Your parts supplier gives you one-quarter of a year to pay for parts ordered today, or offers you a discount if you pay cash at purchase. You have just purchased $94,500 worth of parts from your supplier and the discount is at an annual rate of 10%. How much will you pay for the parts if you pay today

Answer 1

Answer: $92,275

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount you will pay today is the present value of the purchase price given a 10% discount for a quarter of a year.

= 94,500/ (1 + 10%) ^ 1/4 year

= 92,274.91147

= $92,275
