VTC uses the gross method to account for purchase discounts and a perpetual inventory system. VTC paid the net-of-discount amount on January 6, 2022.

Answer 1

Answer:

$258,720

Explanation:

On January 6, 2022, VTC will pay the discounted amount of $258,720 because he paid the said obligation within the discounted period of 10 days based on the contract. Computation of said amount are as follow;

First, compute the gross amount

$22,000 x 12 units = $264,000

Second, compute the discount

$264,000 x 2% = $5,280

$264,000 - $5,280 = $258,720 (ANSWER)
