MP = Rs. 2860
VAT = 8%
After VAT Selling Price = 8%Rs. 2860 + Rs. 2860 = Rs. 3088.80

Sale Price after a discount of 20% = Rs. 3088.80 - 20%(Rs. 3088.80) = Rs. 2471.04
Price before VAT is applied = 2860 - 20% = Rs. 2288

Let the Cost Price be x.
Since the overheads are 4%, the new CP will be 1.04x.

So, profit = 2,288 - 1.04x
profit % = begin mathsize 16px style fraction numerator left parenthesis 2288 minus 1.04 straight x right parenthesis over denominator 1.04 straight x end fraction equals 10 over 100 end style
begin mathsize 16px style rightwards double arrow 2 comma 288 space minus space 1.04 straight x space equals space 0.104 straight x rightwards double arrow straight x equals fraction numerator 2 comma 288 over denominator 1.144 end fraction rightwards double arrow straight x equals Rs. space 2000 end style

Hence, the Cost Price of the article is Rs. 2000 and the final Selling price including VAT will be Rs. 2471.04.
