Question 12 GCE_MODEL_QUESTIONS_VOL1 • 2017 • COMMERCE • objective

A supplier issues an invoice of ₦250,000 with terms "2 % discount if paid within 10 days, net 30". The supplier also offers a 1 % early‑payment discount if the invoice is settled within 20 days; the two discounts cannot be combined. The buyer pays on day 25, so the 2 % discount is missed but the 1 % discount is taken. The supplier charges interest of 0.5 % per month on the outstanding amount for the period after the 10‑day discount window. Calculate (a) the total amount the buyer pays on day 25, and (b) the effective annualised cost of forgoing the 2 % discount in favour of the 1 % discount, assuming a 365‑day year.
