If gross margin on a product is 25% what is the corresponding markup percentage​

Business
1 answer:
Oxana [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

With a selling price of $100 and a cost of $75, the $25 markup as a percentage of the $75 cost is 33.33% ($25/$75). The gross profit of $25 ($100 - $75) also means a gross margin of 25% ($25 gross profit divided by the selling price of $100).

Explanation:

Let's begin by assuming that a company's product has a cost of $75 and the company desires a 25% gross margin (or 25% of the selling price). Let's use "SP" to indicate the product's required selling price and "MU$" to represent the gross profit, and state the gross margin as 0.25SP. This means that:

SP = Cost + MU$

SP = $75 + MU$

Since MU$ must be 25% of SP, we can state: SP = $75 + 0.25SP

Restating the previous point, we have: SP - 0.25SP = $75

Restating the previous point, we have: 0.75SP = $75

After dividing each side of the equation by 0.75, we have: SP = $100

On December 1, 2016, Insto Photo Company purchased merchandise, invoice price $25,000, and issued a 12%, 120-day note to Ringo C
Leto [7]

Answer:

See explanation section

Explanation:

Requirement A

                            Insto Photo Company

                                  Journal Entries

Date                             Accounts Name                    Debit          Credit

December 1, 2016     Inventory                              $25,000

                                           Notes payable                                 $25,000

<em>Note</em>: As the merchandise company issued a note for the credit purchase of merchandise inventory, notes payable is used instead of accounts payable.

Dec. 31, 2016             Interest expense                      $250

                                               Interest payable                             $250

<em>Note: </em>Adjusting entry is needed as the fiscal year is ended on 31st December, therefore, there will be an accrued interest expense to be paid for one month. The calculation of interest expense = $25,000 × 12% × (30 ÷ 360) [assuming  1 year = 360 days, 1 month = 30 days]. = $250 for one month's accrual.

Requirement B

March 31, 2017           Interest expense                     $   750

                                   Interest payable                      $   250

                                   Notes payable                       $25,000

                                                      Cash                                      $26,000

<em>Note:</em> At the end of the maturity date, the buyer will pay all the bills of the notes plus interest. Interest payable becomes debit as it did not pay by the buyer on 31st December, 2016. The remaining interest = $25,000 × 12% × (90 ÷ 360) = $750. Total cash will be paid after the maturity = $25,000 + $250 + $750 = $26,000.

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Patricia Borstorff and her associates studied employee willingness to work overseas, i.e. to become expatriates. She found that a large percentage of expatriates suffered problems not only on foreign countries but most importantly at home once their assignment was finished.

Family dysfunction was one of the problems, but it wasn't the most severe one. Many expatriates felt that after coming back home their careers suffered, they felt undervalued and many times suffered depression.

Around 50% of expatriates leave their company after returning to the US within a 3 year period and only a few of those who remain at the company end up in a better position than before.

klemol [59]

Answer:

The answer is: B) False

Explanation:

By definition in a monopolistic competition, all the suppliers offer differentiated products from one another. Their cosmetic product s are already seen as different by the market (both customers and competitors) and no competitive substitute products are available. So the company should start focusing their promotional strategies more on its clients than on their products.
