Parts Receiving: Purchase Orders, Shortages and Damage

Parts Receiving: Purchase Orders, Shortages and Damage

Original quantitative topic practice in English. All 24 questions are included in a shuffled order. Each question supplies its own data and model assumptions; use only those assumptions. Choose one answer. Practice target: 20/24, not an official examination pass mark. Keep full intermediate precision. These exercises cover the calculation scope in the title; they do not constitute a full Red Seal examination, trade qualification, site design or operating specification.

A purchase order is for 180 items at $18 each. The packing slip claims 144 items, but the count finds 136; 9 of those are damaged and rejected. The supplier invoices the claimed quantity. Under the stated agreement only accepted items are payable, rejected items are returned, and all undelivered or rejected units remain due. Calculate the items short against the packing slip. Keep intermediate values unrounded; round the final answer to 4 decimal places if needed.
