Question

A company purchased $11,600 of merchandise on June 15 with terms of 3/10, n/45, and FOB shipping point. The freight charge, $1,300, was added to the invoice amount. On June 20, it returned $2,080 of that merchandise. On June 24, it paid the balance owed for the merchandise taking any discount it is entitled to. The cash paid on June 24 equals: Multiple Choice $12,280. $9,224. $12,900. $10,534. $12,380.

Answer 1

Answer:

$10,534

Explanation:

Net purchases before discount = $11,600 - $2,080 = $9,520

Since the company paid before 10 days, it takes 3% discount as follows:

Discount = $9,520 * 3% =  9,234.40 = $285.60

Net purchases after discount = $9,520 - $285.60 = $9,234.40

The company pays for the freight charge of $1,300 and net purchases after discount. Therefore, we have:

Cash paid = $9,234.40 + $1,300 = $10,534.40, or $10,534 approximately.
