Levin Furniture buys a living room set with a 5100 list pric
Levin Furniture buys a living room set with a $5,100 list price and a 50% trade discount. Freight (FOB shipping point) of $45 is not part of the list price. What is the delivered price (including freight) of the living room set, assuming a cash discount of 2/10, n/30, ROG? The invoice had an April 8 date. Levin received the goods on April 19 and paid the invoice on April 25.
Solution
discount =$5100 * 0.50 = $2550
$5100 – $2550 = $2550
April 19 to April 25:
elapsed time from received day to making payment
25 - 19 = 6 days
so, we have to make payment in 6 days
2/10 or 20% discount for paying before 10 days or 6 days:
=$2550 * 0.2 = $510
price before delivery :
=$2550 – $510 = $2040
delivered price:
$2040 + $45 = $2085
if the $40 delivery charges also entitled to 20% discount,
then:
$(2550+45) * 0.2 = $519
delivery price:
$2595 - $519 = $2076 ..........Answer
