Training Guide for Instrument Retail Pricing

As a pricing supervisor at a retail music store, you are preparing a quick-reference guide for new inventory associates to ensure they understand how prices are set for guitars and other instruments.

Draft a brief explanation where you define the following four key pricing terms in your own words:

  1. Original Cost
  2. Mark-up Rate
  3. Mark-up Amount
  4. List Price

Additionally, state the two core mathematical formulas used in this pricing process:

  • The formula to find the Mark-up Amount (mm) given the original cost (cc) and the mark-up rate (rr, expressed as a decimal).
  • The formula to find the List Price (pp) given the original cost (cc) and the mark-up amount (mm).
