Answer 2

Answer:

Option Rs. 69,120

The cost of goods is Rs. 69,120.

Explanation:

Given :

Goods were invoiced by the head office to a branch = Rs. 86,400

At cost plus 25% mark-up

Invoice amount (Rs. 86,400) = cost + 25% mark-up

To find :

The cost of goods

Solution :

Invoice amount (Rs. 86,400) = cost + 25% mark-up

Invoice price = cost + Profit

Let,

Cost = x

86,400 = x + 25% of x

86,400 = x + 25x/100

86,400 = x + 0.25x

86,400 = 1.25x

x = 86,400 / 1.25

x = 69,120

Cost of the goods = 69,120

∴ The cost of goods is Rs. 69,120
