Answer:
Cost of a single bar = 2.52 AED (2.4 AED + 0.12 AED)
Explanation:
Cost of a box of 25 pieces of chocolate = 50 AED
Cost per bar for seller = 50 AED/25 = 2 AED
Selling price = 2.4 AED (2 AED * 1.2)
Plus 5% VAT = 0.12 AED (2.4 AED * 5%)
Cost of a single bar = 2.52 AED (2.4 AED + 0.12 AED)
b) The cost price to the seller is the cost of a box divided by the pieces or bars in the box, = 50 AED / 25 = 2AED
c) The cost price to the buyer is the selling price plus 5% VAT. This cost includes the seller's cost, profit, and VAT.
