Analyze:
What was the total credit card expense incurred in February?
 

 
Explanation
2.
Feb.  1   Sales [$3,100 − ($3,100 × 30%)] = $2,170
     
Feb. 15   Cash ($7,600 + $608) = $8,208
    Sales Tax Payable ($7,600 × 8%) = $608
     
Feb. 15   Credit Card Expense ($11,100 + $888) × 1% = $119.88
    Cash ($11,100 + $888 − $119.88) = $11,868.12
    Sales Tax Payable ($11,100 × 8%) = $888
     
Feb. 16   Sales Tax Payable ($7,100 × 8%) = $568
   
Feb. 17   Sales [$7,100 − ($7,100 × 20%)] = $5,680
     
Feb. 20   Credit Card Expense ($7,668 × 2%) = $153.36
    Cash ($7,668 − $153.36) = $7,514.64
     
Feb. 28   Cash ($6,800 + $544) = $7,344
    Sales Tax Payable ($6,800 × 8%) = $544
     
Feb. 28   Credit Card Expense ($15,000 + $1,200) × 1% = $162
    Cash ($15,000 + $1,200 − $162) = $16,038
    Sales Tax Payable ($15,000 × 8%) = $1,200
     
Feb. 28   Sales Tax Payable ($8,300 × 8%) = $664
 

 
Suppose the list price of goods is $1,500 and the trade discount is 40 percent.
What is the net price? (List price - trade discount)
 
$900
 
1,500 – (1,500 x .40) = 900
 

 
Suppose the list price is $1,500 and the trade discount is quoted as a series of 25 and 15 percent.
What is the net price? (List price - first discount - second discount)
 
$956.25
 
1,500 - 375.00 - 168.75 = 956.25
