In: Accounting
A department has an initial markup of 64%. Planned sales for April are $10,000 and $12,000 for May. The desired stock-to-sales ratio for April is 7.0 and 6.5 for May. Planned markdowns for April are $3,000, and $4,000 for May. Calculate the planned April purchases at retail and at cost.
I already know the answers just need to know how to get there.
Answers= $21,000 at retail, $7560 at cost
Planned Purchases at Retail (April) = Planned Sales + Planned Reduction + Planned end of moth stock – Planned beginning of moth stock
= 10,000 + 3,000 + 78,000 – 70,000 = 21,000
Planned Sales | Stock to sales ratio | Planned retail stock | |
April | 10000 | 7 | 70000 |
May | 12000 | 6.5 | 78000 |
Planned Purchase at Cost = Planned purchase at Retail (1 – Initial markup %)
= 21,000 (1 – 64%)
= $ 7,560
