Answer: a. $120,000.

Explanation:

The inventory lost can be calculated by;

= Opening inventory + Purchases - Cost of Goods sold

Cost of goods sold = Sales - Markup on price

= 600,000 - (600,000 * 25/125)

= 600,000 - 120,000

= $480,000

Inventory lost = 100,000 + 500,000 - 480,000

= $120,000

At Mayflower & Juneberry, a garden supply store, buyers need to keep abreast of the latest landscaping trends and order each
emmasim [6.3K]

Give buyers a goal of ordering each season 's merchandise by a particular date, then give them daily feedback about what percentage of the upcoming season 's merchandise has been ordered.

<u>Explanation</u>:

When customers do not find what they are looking for at the store, they usually don't return to the store. They just go to some other store and its highly unlikely that they would further suggest the store to anyone.

Thus, to ensure that the store doesn't lose customers because of this reason, the store should encourage their employees to be aware of the latest development in the field and place orders for the same on a regular, preferably weekly, basis.

This way the likelihood of customers not getting what they require from the store becomes very bleak.

Therefore, Give buyers a goal of ordering each season 's merchandise by a particular date, then give them daily feedback about what percentage of the upcoming season 's merchandise has been ordered.
