Paid $400 freight on the shipment. Paid the invoice within the discount period. As a result of these events, the company’s inventory increased by $110200. increased by $107604. increased by $108004. increased by $107996.

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (C) is correct

Explanation:

The payment is made during the discount period of 11 days so the 2% discount rate would be applicable.

Goods purchased =   $112,000

Goods returned = $2,200

Discount =   (Goods purchased - goods returned) × 2%

               = ($112,000 - $2,200) × 2%

               = $2,196

Net purchase = Goods purchased - returned - Discount

                       = $112,000 - $2,200 - $2,196

                       = $107,604

Total inventory cost = Net purchase + Freight cost

                                 = $107,604 + $400

                                 = $108,004

Therefore, company’s inventory increased by $108,004.
