Jane Westerlund owns a small retail picture frame store in a local strip mall. She just bought 10 picture frames from a promising woodworker for $36 each. Based on market conditions, she planned to sell these for $100 each. Recently, however, sales have been a bit slow. Jane decides to reduce the price for the frames to $80. What is her maintained markup in dollar terms

Respuesta :

Answer:

$44

Explanation:

Jane's maintained markup = sales price - cost = $80 - $36 = $44

The maintained markup is the difference between the cost of purchasing a picture frame and the actual retail price of the picture frames. To calculate the maintained markup you must used the net sales price after any discounts made.

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

Cost price:

Quantity = 10 units

Price each = $36

Selling price:

Quantity = 10 units

Price each = $80

Selling price = cost price + markup

Markup = selling price - cost price

= (80 × 10) - (36 × 10)

= $800 - $360

= $440

Markup per unit of picture frame = 440/10

= $44.
