Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
To determine the discount allowed by Department A, the percentage of sales by Department A need to be calculated
Dep A 250,000
Dep B \(\frac{150,000}{400,000}\)
% of Dep A = \(\frac{250,000}{400000}\) X 100
= 62.5%
∴ Discount allowed in Dep A = \(\frac{62.5}{100}\) x 250,000
= ₦ 9,375
= ₦ 9,375
