Required:
Assuming that Sales Discounts is treated as a contra-revenue, compute net sales for the two months ended February 28.

Answer 1

Answer:

the net sales for the two months is $2,448

Explanation:

The computation of the net sales for the two months is shown below:

= Sale made on Jan 6 + sale made on Jan 6 + sales made on Feb 28 - discount on sale made on Jan 6

= $1,400 + $690 + $400 - ($1,400 × 3%)

= $2,490 - $42

= $2,448

hence, the  net sales for the two months is $2,448

The same is to be considered
