Answer 1

Answer:give the feedback immediately

Step-by-step explanation:

STEP 1 : Lady gives a fake note of Rs. 1000 note to the shopkeeper for goods worth Rs. 200. At this moment, CURRENT STATUS/POSSESSION OF MONEY:

Lady - Has goods worth Rs. 200, Shopkeeper - Has a fake note of Rs. 1000

So,

Lady = +200(Cost of goods),

Shopkeeper = -200(Goods given for a fake note which has 0 value).

STEP 2 : Shopkeeper goes to neighbouring shop and gets genuine change for a fake note of Rs. 1000. At this moment, CURRENT STATUS/POSSESSION OF MONEY:

Lady - Has goods worth Rs. 200, Shopkeeper - Has genuine Rs. 1000, Neighbouring shopkeeper - Has fake Rs. 1000 whose genuine change he has already paid.

So,

Lady = +200(as above from STEP 1),

Shopkeeper = -200(as above from STEP 1)+1000(Got from neighbouring shopkeeper)= +800,

Neighbouring Shopkeeper = -1000(exchanged genuine change for fake note of 0 value).

 

STEP 3: Shopkeeper hands over genuine change of Rs. 800 to the lady along with goods worth Rs. 200 and keeps Rs. 200 as the remaining change for himself. At this moment, CURRENT STATUS/POSSESSION OF MONEY:

Lady - Has goods worth Rs. 200 AND Rs. 800 given by Shopkeeper, Shopkeeper has Rs. 200 left after he gave Rs. 800 change to the lady, Neighbouring Shopkeeper has a fake note of Rs. 1000 whose genuine change he has already paid.

So,

Lady = +200(as above from STEP 2)+800(change given by shopkeeper)=+1000,

Shopkeeper =+800(as above from STEP 2)-800(given change to the lady)+200(remainder of Rs. 1000 after giving Rs. 800 change to the lady) = +200,

Neighbouring Shopkeeper = -1000(as above from STEP 2).

STEP 4: The neighbouring shopkeeper detects the note to be fake. He comes back to claim his money. The shopkeeper gives him back Rs. 1000 genuine money from his own account/pocket. At this moment, CURRENT STATUS/POSSESSION OF MONEY:

Lady = +1000(as above from STEP 3),

Shopkeeper = +200(as above from STEP 3) -1000(repays back to neighbouring shopkeeper from his own account/pocket) = -800,

Neighbouring Shopkeeper = -1000(as above from STEP 3) + 1000(got genuine money back from shopkeeper) = 0.

Answer 2

Answer:

The loss suffered by the Shopkeeper is $600$.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to given data, two parts are assumed.

Part: 1

The lady gets $300$ worth product and $200$ cash.

Thus, Lady $= +(300+200)$

                  $= +500$.

Shop keeper gave $300$ worth product and left with $200$ cash.

Thus, Shop keeper $= -300 + 200$

                                $= -100$.

That is, the net loss for Shopkeeper by the end of first part is $100$.

Part : 2

Next shopkeeper returned fake five hundred note and took real five hundred note. That is, there is neither loss nor gain to next Shopkeeper.

But, Shopkeeper lost $500$ again, as he returned to next Shopkeeper.

Thus, Shopkeeper $= -500$.

On a whole, the profit or loss to Shopkeeper is $(-100) + (-500) = -600.$

Therefore, the loss, the Shopkeeper suffered is $600.$
