Calculations
- Suppose each of these products/services has a 30% markup based on selling price.
Calculate each supplier’s cost for the product/service. [Hint: First find the markup in dollars, then use the formula Price=Cost + Markup to find the supplier’s cost.]
Website a: (Staples) | Website b: (Amazon) | Website c: (name) | |
Supplier’s Cost: | $ | $ | $ |
- Now that you have calculated the cost of the product, use that information to calculate the percentage markup based on cost.[Hint: Percentage markup based on cost is = (Price-Cost)/Cost.]
Website a: (name) | Website b: (name) | Website c: (name) | |
Percentage Markup: | % | % | % |
- Calculate the percentage difference between the price you would like to pay and the price of the product/service.
Remember, this percentage will be positive if the price of the product or service is lower than the price you would like to pay. If the price is over-budget then there will be a negative number. If the price is under budget then there will be a positive number. [Hint: To calculate the percentage difference, you should use the formula: (Budget – Price)/Budget.]
Website a: (name) | Website b: (name) | Website c: (name) | |
Percentage Difference: | % | % | % |
Analysis
- Write a 175- to 350-word analysis of which product you would select for purchase. Keep in mind that your purchase decision does not necessarily have to be the product with the lowest cost but you should support your decision with information from your analysis.
