Answer:

c. 48,000

Explanation:

The amount charges is based off of the total sales figure and the current year sales percentage.

We can calculate the current year's charge as follows,

Charge = (120,000 / 800,000) * 320,000

= $48,000

Whwre, 800,000 is the total sales figure (120,000 + 680,000).

Hopw that helps.
