Creditors 3,000 4,000
Debtors ___ 6,000
Cash received from debtors ___ 35,000
cash paid to suppliers ____ 25,000
Discount allowed _____ 4,000
Discount received _____ 4,200

What is the total purchase for the period?

Answer Details
The total purchase for the period is ₦25,000. We can determine the total purchase by looking at the amount of cash paid to suppliers, which is ₦25,000. This represents the total amount of money paid to suppliers for purchases made during the period. Discounts allowed and received do not affect the total purchase amount. They are simply adjustments made to the amount owed to suppliers based on the terms of the purchase agreement. Similarly, the amounts owed by debtors and to creditors do not provide information about the total purchases made during the period.
