Determine the discount allowed by Department A

A.

₦5,000

B.

₦9,375

C.

₦5,625

D.

₦8,000

Correct answer is B

To determine the discount allowed by Department B, the percentage of sales by Department B need to be calculated

Dep A 250,000

Dep B \frac{150,000}{400,000}

% of Dep A = \frac{250,000}{400000} X 100

= 62.5%

∴ Discount allowed in Dep A = \frac{62.5}{100} x 250,000

= ₦ 9,375

= ₦ 9,375
