Problem 1:
A company receives orders for $2,500 worth of goods. The supplier offers a payment terms of 3/15 net 30, meaning the company is required to pay 30% of the order value immediately, with the remaining 70% due 30 days from the date of purchase. Calculate the total payment due to the supplier.
Solution:
Payment on day 30: 30% of 2,500 = $750.
Payment on day 60: 70% of 2,500 = $1,500.
Total payment due: 1,500 = $2,250.
Problem 2:
A company has an inventory of 100 units with a cost of $10 each. The company estimates that 20 units will be sold within the next month. Calculate the cost of goods sold (COGS) and the ending inventory.
Solution:
Cost of goods sold (COGS): 100 units * 1,000.
Ending inventory: 100 units - 20 units = 80 units.
Problem 3:
A company buys a machine for $5,000 on credit with a payment term of 12/60. Calculate the total payment due and the interest paid over the 12 months.
Solution:
Total payment due: 833.33.
Interest paid: (5,000 * 12/60) * 0.06 = $100.
Additional Points:
Installment-based problems require careful consideration of payment schedules and the accounting of both cash and credit.
Understanding these concepts is crucial in financial management, inventory control, and project financing.
Practice and application of these skills are essential for improving quantitative abilities
