a.
In case of FOB shipping point, buyer is liable to pay transportation cost.
Purchases = $9,800
Return and allowances = $1,000
Final amount due = Purchases- Return and allowances
= 9,800-1,000
= $8,800
Discount = Final amount due x 1%
= 8,800 x 1%
= $88
Amount to be paid by the buyer = Final amount due - Discount+ Transportation cost
= 8,800-88+356
= $9,068
b.
In case of FOB Destination, buyer is not liable to pay transportation cost.
Purchases = $5,600
Return and allowances = $1,200
Final amount due = Purchases- Return and allowances
= 5,600-1,200
= $4,400
Discount = Final amount due x 2%
= 4,400 x 1%
= $88
Cash paid by the buyer = Final amount due - Discount
= 4,400-88
= $4,312
