Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The company paid the invoice within the discount period, so it gets to take the 2% discount. The discount is $80,000 x 2% = $1,600. The company also paid $400 for freight, so the total cost of the inventory is $80,000 - $1,600 + $400 = $78,800. The company returned $1,600 of the shipment for credit, so the net increase in inventory is $78,800 - $1,600 = $77,200.
