Answer:
a. $297.50
b. 150%
c. 60%
d. $14.88
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that $100 of selling price breaks down to ...
cost: $40
operating profit: $100 -40 -45 - $5
markup: $100 -40 = $60
__
a. The selling price is $100/$40 = 2.5 times the cost.
selling price = 2.5 × $119 = $297.50
__
b. The ratio of markup to cost is ...
markup/cost = $60/40 = 1.5 = 150%
__
c. The ratio of markup to selling price is ...
markup/selling price = $60/$100 = 0.60 = 60%
__
d. The ratio of profit to cost is ...
profit/cost = $5/$40 = 1/8
Then the operating profit on this item is ...
$119 × 1/8 = $14.875 ≈ $14.88
