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.
