Answer:
a. The total cost is:
= ((Cost of goods - Returns) * discount factor) + Freight paid by seller
= ( (11,000 - 1,100) * (1 - 1%)) + 260
= 9,900 * 99% + 260
= $10,061
Note: When shipping is FOB Shipping point, freight is paid by buyer. Discount terms of 1/10 means that a discount of 1% is allowed if settlement is done within 100 days.
b. Total Cost is:
= ( Cost of goods - Returns) * Discount factor
= 4,200 * (1 - 2%)
= $4,116
Note: When shipping is FOB Destination, freight is not paid by buyer. 2/10 discount means 2% discount if settled in 10 days.
