Wang Distributors has an annual demand for an airport metal detector of 1,400 units. The cost of a typical detector to Wang is $

400. Carrying cost is estimated to be 20% of the unit costs, and the ordering is $25 per order. If Ping Wang, the owner, orders in quantities of 300 or more, he can get a 5% discount on the cost of the detectors. Should Wang take the quantity discount?

Answer:

Wang should take the quantity discount

Explanation:

Total minimum cost for both cases i.e. with and without discount is evaluated.

1. Without the discount

Demand - 1,400 units

Ordering cost - $25 per order

Cost of detector- $400

Carrying cost - 20%

Applying EOQ formula: √ (2*1,400*25)/(400*20%) = 29.580

Total cost = (400*1400) + (1400*25*2/29.580) = 562,366

2. With discount

Demand - 1,400 units

Ordering cost - $25 per order

Cost of detector i.e. 400 x 20%- $380

Carrying cost - 20%

Applying EOQ formula: √ (2*1,400*25)/(380*20%) = 30.3488

Applying variables to obtain total cost as in 1 above = 543,516.67

Therefore, since total cost is lower after the discount, Wang should take the quantity discount.

interst expense      216 debit

  account payable         216 credit

--to record interest incurred--

Explanation:

As we use periodic system we calculate the inventory and COGS at the end of the period so we use purchase and returns accounts rather than adjusting inventories in every transactions.

In the second method we use itnerest expense when the discount is loss.

<u><em>interest incurred for the period:</em></u>

(12,000 - 1,200) x 2% = 216

The secodn purchase at the end of the monthcan be paid within discount period therefore, we do not recognize interest expense yet.
