Cost of Goods Sold
The initial cost of the goods sold to Anita is Rs. 40,000.
Profit Calculation
- The profit percentage is 20% on sales.
- To find the selling price (SP), we first calculate the profit:
Profit = Cost × Profit Percentage
Profit = Rs. 40,000 × 20% = Rs. 8,000
- Thus, the selling price before any discounts is:
SP = Cost + Profit
SP = Rs. 40,000 + Rs. 8,000 = Rs. 48,000
Trade Discount Application
- A trade discount of 10% is applied on the selling price.
Trade Discount = SP × Trade Discount Percentage
Trade Discount = Rs. 48,000 × 10% = Rs. 4,800
- The selling price after trade discount becomes:
SP after Trade Discount = SP - Trade Discount
SP after Trade Discount = Rs. 48,000 - Rs. 4,800 = Rs. 43,200
GST Calculation
- An 8% GST is charged on the selling price after the trade discount.
GST = SP after Trade Discount × GST Percentage
GST = Rs. 43,200 × 8% = Rs. 3,456
Total Amount Payable
- Finally, the total amount Anita pays is the selling price after the trade discount plus GST:
Total Amount = SP after Trade Discount + GST
Total Amount = Rs. 43,200 + Rs. 3,456 = Rs. 46,656
In conclusion, Anita pays a total of Rs. 46,656 for the goods.
