Answer:
$1,363,636.36
Explanation:
A public traded construction company just paid off a loan that was received one year earlier
The amount of money paid by the company was $1,500,000
The interest rate was 10% per year
= 10/100
= 0.10
Therefore the amount of money that was borrowed last year can be calculated as follows
Let x represent the amount of money borrowed
x + x(0.10)= 1,500,000
x + 0.10x= 1,500,000
1.1x= 1,500,000
x= 1,500,000/1.1
x= $1,363,636.36
Hence the company borrowed $1,363,636.36 a year ago

The computation of the ending balance of the work in process is shown below:
For April month

Simmons sold merchandise to Drafke for $5,000 with payment terms of 2/10, n/30. Two days later, Drafke returned two of the units and received account credit in the amount of $2,000. If Drafke pays his account in full within ten days of the invoice date, what is the amount of the sales discount?
Answer:
The amount of the sales discount is $60.
Explanation:
The with payment terms of 2/10, n/30 imply that Drafke will enjoy 2% discount if he pays within 10 days; but after the first 10 days, the full invoice amount payable will be due for payment in 30 days without the 2% discount.
From the question, we have:
Total credit sales = $5,000
Sales return = $2,000
Net credit sales = Total credit sales - Sales return = $5,000 - $2,000 = $3,000
If Drafke pays his account in full within ten days of the invoice date, he will enjoy the 2% discount rate. Therefore, we have:
Discount amount = Net credit sales * Discount rate = $3,000 * 2% = $60
Therefore, the amount of the sales discount is $60.
