Module 4 Retail Math

This assignment helped me learn how to calculate markups, markup percentages, as well as cumulative markup and percents. I was able to become familiar with different formulas that I would be putting into use as Buyer, and now I feel prepared to tell my future employers that I have these skills. This assignment also helped me calculate profit before taxes as well as complete and income profit/loss statement. This is the part of retail that requires analytical knowledge, and these assignments helped me gain those tools.
