discount

last week i go to jusco, i found that so many discount, like 20% to 70% discount. but i did not buy anything, i just look around. maybe the discount made because of " hari raya puasa". so people can buy thing at the cheaper price.

biz math

i like this subject but i have problem in remembering the formulae. to answer the question must have formulae, different question have different formulae. so have to look the formulae in the text book.

biz math : CHAPTER 7

7.3 BANK DISCOUNT

D = sdt
Where D = bank discount
S = amount of maturity value
d = discount rate
t = term in discount in years

the proceeds. P are computed as follow

bank proceeds = maturity value – bank discount

P = s – d
P = s – sdt


biz math : CHAPTER 6 – MARK UP AND MARK DOWN

Mark up
- the cost price is the original price of the goods paid by the retailer must add an additional amount called mark up to the cost of the goods to cover the business expenses and to generate a profit. The sum of this cost and mark up is the retail (selling) price. In other words, mark up (gross profit or gross margin) is the difference in the retail price and the cost price, that is

R = C+M where R = retail price / selling price
C = cost price
M = mark up / gross profit


Mark down
- mark down is a decrease in the selling price. It is the difference in the old retail price and the new retail price that is

MD = OP – NP
Where MD = mark down
OP = old retail price
NP = new retail price



Price are sometimes marked down due to many reasons. To face stiff competition, to encourage purchases in bulk, to dispose off old, damaged or obsolete stocks and to close a line of merchandise.




Profit and loss

If M more than OE, net profit is obtained
If M less than OE, loss is incurred
Where M = mark up
OE = overhead expenses

Breakeven price – retail price just covers the cost price and the operating expenses, then it does not make any profit nor incur any loss

Breakeven price = cost price + operating expenses

The mark up equation, retail price = cost + mark up can be expressed as follow

Retail price = cost + net profit + operating expenses or in abbreviation
R = C + NP + OE

biz math : CHAPTER 5 – TRADE AND CASH DISCOUNT

Trade discount = list price – net price
Amount of trade discount = list price x trade discount rate


Formula for calculating net price
NP = L(1-r)

NP = net price
L = list price
r% = trade discount
from net price = list price – trade discount, we get
NP = L – Lr
NP = L (1- r)

Multiple discounts are offered to the retailers on the same goods by the manufacturers or wholesalers. It is termed as chain discount or series discount

Formula for calculating the net price for a chain discount

NP = L (1- r1)(1- r2)(1- r3)

Single discount equivalent
- a single discount equivalent is a single which is equivalent to a chain discount, the single discount equivalent, r, for a chain discount of r1, r2 and r3 is given by
r = 1- (1-r1)(1-r2)(1-r3)
trade and cash discount

biz math : CHAPTER 2 – SIMPLE INTEREST

Interest (unless stated otherwise) ussually expressed as per cent per annum. There are two type of interest : simple interest and compound interest.

Simple interest formula:
- simple interest formula is the interest calculated on the original principal for the entire period, it is borrowed or invested. It is the product of the principle multiplied by the rate and time, this may stated as the formula.

I = Prt

Where I = simple interest
P = principle
r = rate of simple interest
t = time or time in years

simple amount formula
- the simple amount is the sum of the original principle and the interest earned. The simple amount formula is given as

S = original principle + interest earned
S = P + Prt



Four basic concepts

1. exact time - it is the number of days between two given date
2. approximate time - it assumes amonth has 30 days in the calculation of
Number of days between two given dates.
3. ordinary simple interest - in calculating ordinary simple interest, we use a 360
day year
4. exact simple interest - this uses a 365/366 day year for interest computation
