<u>Answer:</u>

<u />

It would be "To offset processing fees charged by credit card companies".

<u>Explanation:</u>

It wouldn't make sense to protect credit card users from ID theft, since that is taken care of at the credit card company's level.

This specific discount wouldn't necessarily bring in more customers since half the demographic is probably either cash or credit card anyway.

Lastly, credit card companies due charge fees for the use of credits cards, so a company would use this tactic out of fairness for it's customers and the profit of the business.

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

The correct answer is $147,500.

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Beginning inventory = $10,500

Ending inventory = $23,000

So, we can calculate the cost of goods sold by using following method:

Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + Purchase inventory - Ending Inventory

By putting the value, we get,

Cost of goods sold = $10,500 + $160,000 - $23,000

= $147,500
