Question 1

Sao Co. purchased a machine for $11,500, terms 2/10, n/30 (2% discount if paid within 10
days, full amount due within 30 days), FOB shipping point. Sao Co. paid for the machine
within the discount period. The seller prepaid the freight charges, $260, adding the amount to
the invoice and bringing its total to $11,760. The machine required a special steel mounting
and power connections costing $795, and another $375 was paid to assemble the machine and
get it into operation. In moving the machine onto its steel mounting, it was dropped and
damaged. The repairs cost $190. Later, $30 of raw materials were consumed in adjusting the
machine so that it would produce a satisfactory product. The adjustments were normal for this
type of machine and were not the result of the damage. However, the items produced while the
adjustments were being made were not sellable.
