If a product is purchased for 100 and 25% mark-up is added then the selling price will be 125.

Therefore cost for inventory purposes can be calculated by finding cost as a percentage of selling (100/125 x 100 = 80%)

or for any percentage mark-up

1-(m/(1+m))

where m= markup

1-(.25/(1+.25)) =0.8 or 80%

What mark up to make 12.5 percent gross profit?

If your Gross Profit is 12.5% of Selling Price, that means your Cost of Goods Sold is 87.5% of Selling Price. 1/.875 = 1.143 So you need a 14.3% markup to achieve a 12.5% Gross Profit. Example: Cost = $100 Selling Price = $100 x 1.143 = $114.30 Gross Profit = $114.30 - $100.00 = $14.30 14.30/114.30 = 12.5%


Is the Retail Inventory Method accurate?

It is as accurate as any inventory method. It is much easier to take inventory at retail if you are on the floor counting the items because they are priced at retail. When you reconcile the number of units on hand vs the number purchased, you will know how many you sold or are not accounted for in the sales records. The term for those missing items is "shrinkage" and is a factor in GMROI. Theft of merchandise, mark downs and paperwork errors contribute to shrinkage....one important reason to take inventory. The problem with cost inventories (from my view) is that discounts, volume pricing and other variances to the cost of like items makes it hard for the inventory taker to determine which one was purchased at one cost, and which one at another. If the merchandise tags are coded and inventoried using those codes, the cost can be applied post inventory. A complete and accurate count, no matter how you do it, is what matters.

How do you find the cost of a item if you know the markup cost 130.50 and the markup percentage 58 percent?

mark-up a percentage of the cost. → mark-up price = cost + cost × percentage = cost × 100% + cost × percentage = cost × (100% + percentage) → cost = mark-up price ÷ (100% + percentage) → cost = 130.50 ÷ (100% + 58%) = 130.50 ÷ 158% = 130.50 ÷ (158/100) = 130.50 × 100/158 ≈ 82.59 (There are rounding errors in this as 82.59 × 158% ≈ 130.49, and 82.60 × 158% ≈ 130.51; 82.59½ × 158% ≈ 130.50.)

Mark the goods at 40% above cost price. Need sell_price such that: 80% of sell_price - cost_price/cost_price x 100 = 12% ⇒ 0.8 x sell_price - cost_price = 0.12 x cost_price ⇒ sell_price = 1.12/.8 cost_price = 1.4 cost_price 1.4 x 100 = 140% ⇒ mark at 40% above cost.
