Question
32. If a merchandise is sold on account to a customer for P10,000, terms FOB shipping point, 1/10, n/30, and the seller prepays the transportation costs of P500, the amount of the discount for early payment would be:*a. P 0b. P50c. P100d. P105
Solution
The discount for early payment is calculated based on the terms provided, which in this case is 1/10, n/30. This means that the customer can avail a 1% discount if they pay within 10 days.
Step 1: Identify the total amount of the merchandise sold on account, which is P10,000.
Step 2: Calculate the discount by multiplying the total amount by the discount rate. The discount rate is 1% or 0.01 (1/100).
So, P10,000 * 0.01 = P100
Therefore, the amount of the discount for early payment would be P100. So, the correct answer is c. P100.
