List price = $650 per unit |
||||
Trade discount = 30% |
||||
= 650 x 30% |
||||
= $195 |
||||
Selling price per unit = List price - Trade discount |
||||
650 - 195 |
||||
= $455 |
||||
Total sales = Selling price per unit x Number of units sold |
||||
= 455 x 200 |
||||
= $91,000 |
Sales discount = Sales x Discount rate |
||||
= 91,000 x 3/10 |
||||
= $2,730 |
||||
Cash received from Thomas Company = Total sales - Sales discount |
||||
= 91,000 - 2,730 |
