Question
Kiddie Kites buys Japanese kite kits with a list price of $8,500. If the supplier offers trade discounts of 30/15/15, find the trade discount amount to the nearest cent.
$2,868.75
$4,201.13    
$4,298.88
$5,631.25
Expert Solution
Step 1

Supplier offers trade discounts of 30/15/15, which means first supplier will give 30% discount on the list price, then give 15% discount and then again 15% on discounted price.

Therefore, Price after discount would be:

Price after discount = $8,500 x (1-30%) x (1-15%) x (1-15%)

= $4,298.87

Trade discount amount =  List price - Price after discount

= $8,500 -  $4,298.87

= $4,201.13
