can someone explain the working for this question to me I am struggling. i dont know where the 1.16 came from.
January 19, 2022 at 8:00 pm #647056okay after much frustration I realized where the 1.16 came from. it is 116/100 //face palms//
January 19, 2022 at 8:16 pm #647057Net cost before discount = 3,000
After the 20% discount the net cost is 80% x 3,000 = 2,400.Sales tax of 16% has to be added: 16% x 2,400 = 384
Gross cost = 2,400 + 384 = 2,784
Or, gross cost = 2,400 x (1 + 0.16) = 2,400 x 1.16 = 2,784
January 20, 2022 at 1:03 am #647071Thank you so much for replying! I really appreciate the lay out above, as I understand it better. Can you help me with the working for q8? how and why is it 3600 to be paid to the government?
January 20, 2022 at 10:01 am #647107If it made no purchases, the sales tax of 4,600 has to be paid to the government.
However, purchases (including 20% tax) of 6,000 were made. The net price would be 6,000/1.2 = 5,000 and the tax is 1,000 (check: net = 5,000 and tax is 20% of 5,000 = 1,000 so fross price is 6,000).
Tax on purchases can be offset against tax on sales therefore 4,600 – 1,000 = 3,600 to be paid.
