Answer:

A) $535,714

In four decimal places $535,714.2857

Explanation:

We bring out the terms

Price of equipment(E)= 5,000,000

Price of installation(I)= 600,000

Price of installation and equipment (T)= 5,600,000

The discount given(D)= I/T*100= (600,000/5,600,000)*100

= 10.7142%

To get the amount to be allocated to installation= D* E

= 0.107142* 5,000,000

= 535,714.285714≈ $535,714
