Granite company purchased a machine costing $133,000, terms 2/10, n/30. the machine was shipped fob shipping point and freight charges were $3,300. the machine requires special mounting and wiring connections costing $11,300. when installing the machine, $2,800 in damages occurred. compute the cost recorded for this machine assuming granite paid within the discount period.

$144,940

Explanation:

machine costing = $133,000

freight charges = $3,300

special mounting and wiring connections costing = $11,300

Discount rate = 2%

Compute the machine cost as given below:

Machine cost:

= Purchase price × (1 - Discount rate) + Freight charges + Special mounting and wiring connection cost

= 133,000 × (1 - 2%) + $3,300 + $11,300

= $144,940

answer may be d i think

hi : ) i found this so i hope this !

"we first find value of tax in dollars.

the difference between the two prices   is: 23. 54 - 22 = 1.54

therefore the sales tax in dollars is 1.54

the tax % will be   (amount of tax / original cost price ) × 100

(1.54 / 22) × 100  → (0.07) × 100 =   7

so the tax rate is 7%

we can double check the answer.

7 % of 22   → (7/100) × 22 → 0.07 × 22 = 1.54

22 + 1.54 = 23.54"
