| Date | Invoice No. | Name | L.F. | Amount (Rs.) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2018 Jan 1 | 401 | Krishna Store | 42,750 | |
| Jan 8 | 403 | M/s Danya Tex | 21,850 | |
| Jan 20 | 404 | Salu Textile Mart | 72,450 | |
| Total | 1,37,050 | |||
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. Jan20: 75*700=52,500; 30*900=27,000; total=79,500; less 8% = 6,360; net = 73,140. So totals: 34,875 + 21,850 + 73,140 = 1,29,865. So answer should reflect correct calculations. I'll correct: 34,875 + 21,850 = 56,725; +73,140 = 1,29,865. So table with correct figures.

| May 8 | — | Gaya Traders, Kannur | 19,800 | |
| Total | 45,470 | |||
Working: May2: (50×120 + 100×40 + 60×280) = 6,000+4,000+16,800=26,800 less 15% = 22,780? Wait 26,800*0.85 = 22,780. (But my calculation shows 25,670 – error). 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.

But answer shows 25,300? Might be miscalc. Let's recompute: 30×230=6,900; 20×560=11,200; 30×200=6,000; sum=24,100. Possibly there is a discount? Not mentioned. So correct is 24,100. May15: 10×800=8,000 less 10% = 7,200. Total = 31,300. I'll correct: 24,100+7,200=31,300.
