artcher [175]

Amount to be credited = $2,020

Outstanding balance = $480

Explanation:

The payment terms state that

  • 3% discount may be taken within 10 days of the invoice date (up to May 20); or  
  • 1% discount may be taken within 15 days of the invoice date (after May 20 but not later than May 25); or
  • The net amount is due within 60 days of the invoice date if advantage is not taken of the cash discounts offered.
  • The  3% cash discount is not applicable as the payment was made on May 22 which is after the end of the discount period. However, the 1% discount is allowed, since payment on May 22 is within the 15-day period for the 1% discount.

Amount to be credited

= 2000 / (1−0.01)

= 2000 / (0.99)

= $2,020

Outstanding balance

= 2500 - 2020

= $480

Georgia [21]

Answer: $68,000

Explanation:

If the inventory that remains is the $46,000 then that means that the cars costing $33,000 and $24,000 have been sold.

With specific identification, the actual prices of the stock are used so the cost of goods sold is:

= 24,000 + 33,000

= $57,000

The gross profit is therefore:

= Sales - Cost of goods sold

= 125,000 - 57,000

= $68,000
