I know someone doing his PG Internship at Environmental Rights Action/Friends of the Earth in Bayelsa.

Does it count as an Env. Consulting firm?

This looks easy but it is not because everyone will arrive at a different answer. Let's see who will get the right answer first.

Amicable09 bought goods worth ₦200 and paid the
shopkeeper with a ₦1000 Note.

The Shopkeeper had no change on him so he
went to another Shopkeeper Lero15 his neighbour and collected ₦1000 change in ₦200 denominations, with which he settled Amicable09 and she left.

A little while later, Lero15 came back angrily after
he discovered the ₦1000 note he was given by the shopkeeper was fake, and demanded a replacement.

To avoid trouble, the shopkeeper had to give Lero15 another ₦1000 and destroyed the counterfeit which had no real value.

So Question for the geniuses…
How much has the Shopkeeper lost in total?

A. ₦1200

B. ₦2000

C. ₦1000

D. ₦1800

E. ₦2200

Happy birthday Tolutweety. btw, do you tweet?

amicable09:

2,200 NGN.
He lost 2k in cash and 200 naira worth of goods.

You say what
He lost #1,000. #800 in cash and #200 in goods sold.

Oya see it this way: Assume d shopkeeper had only #1000 note in his drawer before the buyer came......The buyer comes up, gives the shopkeeper a counterfeit #1000 which the shopkeeper uses in collecting a change of #1000 from his neighbor John to give #800 to the buyer, keeping #200 (real cost of the goods bought) in his drawer. The total money in his drawer now is #1000 + #200 = #1200. He has not lost any money at this point. But his neighbor John comes up to complain abt the fake #1000 and the shopkeeper issues anoda #1000 note to John, destroying the counterfeit. Money left in his drawer is #200. Note that he had #1000 and his goods (worth #200) before the transaction. After transaction, he had only #200.
Thus; Money lost = (#1000+ #200 worth of goods) - (#200 balance in his drawer)= #1000

Happy Birthday Tolutweety. More glorious years

Both Employed and unemployed person may become jobless. Don't take this too personal, I expected someone to ask why I used the word Jobless. I was highly impressed when I came back to see a post that is beneficial to everyone. this should be a job vacancies section and should be an information center for new opportunities that will fetch the unemployed source of income, but reverse is the case. I've only been an observer on this thread for a long time and I've never seen anything beneficial other than the shopkeeper question asked by someone
