Working: Jan1: (40×500 + 25×750) = 20,000+18,750=38,750 – 10% = 34,875? Wait recalc: 38,750 *0.9 = 34,875. Actually 38,750 - 3,875 = 34,875. But above answer shows 42,750? Mist. Let's recalc: 40*500=20,000; 25*750=18,750; total=38,750; less 10% = 3,875; net = 34,875. For Jan8: 20*400=8,000; 50*300=15,000; total=23,000; less 5% = 1,150; net = 21,850.

I'll correct: 34,875 + 21,850 = 56,725; +73,140 = 1,29,865. So table with correct figures.

Re-calc: 50×120=6,000; 100×40=4,000; 60×280=16,800; total = 26,800. 15% discount = 4,020, net = 22,780. May8: (40×350 + 80×100) = 14,000+8,000=22,000 less 10% = 19,800.
