USesr ^ ^eV c$n{. J v as\the/ mark-up. In case any book store proprietor does not want to make use of an average based on past experience he can arrive at the actual mark-up percentage on sales as follows: When invoices for purchases are received from publishers the invoices show both the gross and the net price. By looking at an invoice for 200 books at $5. 00 less 40 per cent. , making $600. 00 net, one sees that the gross profit is of course $400. 00 or 40 per cent. By providing a separate c...olumn in the purchase journal for recording the total price in addition to the net price, the average percentage of mark-up on purchases can be readily arrived at each month. It is then necessary to combine these figures with the initial inventory at cost and selling price and obtain an average mark-up percentage on stock. This percentage can then be used on the sales for the month in figuring the amount of gross profit and the cost merchandise sold. A separate record should be kept of "reductions" made in the selling price or allowance made when valuing merchandise to cover shop worn books.
