One of the simple rule of thumb is 2 x total yearly turnover. This means if your yearly turnover is US$1million, it may be possible to sell at US$2million. However, there are other additional parameters like profitability, loans & liability, growth prospects, customer base, brand value, etc. If you are really serious, involve a company to do a vaulation for you, for example KPMG.

Here's the method (do the calculations yourself).\n\nP(x) the price at which you can sell the quantity x\nR(x) = xP(x)  [we don't know the price yet, it depends on the unknown x]\nProfit = R(x) - C(x) = xP(x) - C(x)\n\nTo maximize the profit over x, work out its derivative with respect to x, equate it (the der.) to 0, and solve for x. That's the optimum (profit-maximizing) quantity.\n\nIf you also want to know the price and the maximum profit, put the x you've found into the formula for P(x) = ... . Finally, put this x into the formula for the profit: it is xP(x) - C(x) = ...

Formula: original cost x ( 1 + Profit% ) = sell price\n\nIn this case:\nC x (1+25%) = 39000\nC x 1.25 = 39000\nC = 31200\n\nTo check use:\n(Sell price - original cost)/original cost should equal to profit %\n\nTherefore, \n(39000-31200)/31200 = 0.25 = 25%  (this proves that C = 31200 is correct)

Commission rates vary in different industries and even in different products. The amounts are typically determined by business owners based on their experience of how many "units" an average sales person can sell in an average work period (ie. 40 hour week). The determined amount is designed to be only enough to keep the average sales person on the job. For the business owner to pay any more would be viewed as giving away profits. If you are a better that average sales person, you may do well in that position. If you are only average in sales ability, you will probably make only a living wage. Of course that living wage only continues as long as you keep showing up to work. \n\nIf you really want to make the really big bucks you need to learn how to be the business owner. I teach people how to do that. Its way easier than you might think. When the boss goes on a long vacation, does the company still make money? That is what you need. A company that will still make you money when you are not even there. If you have about five years, I can show you how. Of course you will earn as you learn. Together we can make this happen, but only if you want it bad enough! Write to Bruce at boatclub@go.com

I haven't done this in forever, but I'll try.  If I get something egregiously wrong, let me know via email.\n\nIn the interests of laziness, I used M instead of MM for million.\n\nIn time 0, there's\n-15M\n-150k\nSum = -15.15M\n\nIn year 1,\nthere's\n-1M from fixed costs\n-5.65M from change in NWC (58M in sales -> 5.8M total)\n+8M from (sales - VC)\n-2.8M in tax\n+1.5M from deprecation tax shield\nSum = .05M\n\nIn year 2,\n-1M in fixed costs\n-2.9M from change in NWC (87M in sales)\n+12M from (sales - VC)\n-4.4M in tax\n+1.5 from depr\nSum = 5.2M\n\nIn year 3,\n-1M in fixed\n+4.35M (43.5M in sales)\n+6M from (sales - VC)\n-2M in tax\n+1.5 from depr\nSum = 8.85M\n\nAt the end (still year 3),\nthere's\n+4.35M from recovered NWC\n+3.75M in salvage value (might be less if the book value is less than 3.75...I don't exactly remember how to handle this, but it might be 60% depending on if the sale is taxed from whatever cost basis)\nSum = 8.1M\n\nSo, -15.15M + (.05M/1.2) + (5.2M/1.2^2) + (8.85/1.2^3) + (8.1M/1.2^3) = -1.69M\n\nThe IRR is relatively trivial from here.\n\nHm, so it's looking negative.  I'm not sure.  There's definitely something off in my calculations somewhere.  *shrug*

Just take the sales for that particular company and divide that by the total industry sales. Now if you want to do this at the agent level, choose a business segment/product line in a particular company first. Then take the total base for that segment/product line and do the math.\n\nThis can be done for volume units or for revenue units.

There are the initial fees for posting, plus a percentage of the final cost when you sell. That is based on the value of the item when you post it and what it finally goes for.

His profit will actually be found by taking his price minus all of his expenses - you can't just take the derivtive of the price function.  Since the price function given is per widget, multiply it by x to find the total revenue from the selling of x widgets.  The costs given are already given in terms of a total number of widgets, so we can just add those up.  So you're really looking at a profit function\n\nP(x) = x[90 - (x/24)] - (1200 + 60x + x^2/24)\n= 90x - (x^2/24) - 1200 - 60x - x^2/24\n= - 1200 + 30x - x^2/12\n\nTaking this derivative you get\nP'(x) = 30 - x/6\n\nTo find the max profit, set this to 0 and solve for x:\n0 = 30 - x/6\n30 = x/6\nx = 180\n\nSo after selling 180 widgets, you'll maximize profits.  And putting this back into the original per unit price function, you find that you're selling them at\n\nPrice = 90 - x/24\n= 90 - 180/24\n= $82.50 each

This is a complicated question. A lot of variables go into determining the tax due on any real estate sale. Check out the site below. It should help you figure the tax due on your property.\n\nhttp://tax.cchgroup.com/FocusOnTax/2005-10/Real_Estate_Sales_and_Exchanges.pdf#search='tax%20sale%20of%20real%20estate%20texas'

Yes, there is a chart under the sale items tab that explains the fee for LISTING an item and the FINAL SALE PRICE fee.  you can set the price up so that those amounts are yours or the buyers.

Use a header row to name column A as Wholesale Price; column B as Markup; column C as Retail Price; Column D as Discount and Column E as Sale Price.\nFormat the cells in columns A, C, and E as Currency. Format the cells in columns B and D as percentage.\nThe formula in column C is =(A*B)+A\nThe formula in column E is =C-(C*D)\nInsert your values into A, B and D\n\nNote to OP\nIt does work, it's just counter-intuitive.  Using your numbers - the 10% markup gives you a retail price of $110. 10% of 110 is 11, so the sale price is below the wholesale. You can never have a discount with the same percent as the markup and not lose money because you are taking a percentage of a greater number.\nThat's why furniture stores have a 100% markup and give a 50% discount to break even.\n\nHowever if you want the formula for what you did:\nThe formula in column C is =A/(1.00-B)\nThe formula in column E is =C*(1.00-D)\nBut the percentages in columns B and D must be less than 99%

(680-350)/350=.943\nso you take how much you sold it for and subtract how much you paid - that equals your profit\nthen you divide your profit by how much you paid for it

First of all, it would take you about the same amount of energy to think about this and come up with the answer yourself, rather than ask someone else to do it for you. Nevertheless, I'll get you started. How about this? How do you understand what it cost you to run your business? How do you decide how to price your product? How much profit will you make next year? How do you decide what to invest in? What should you do with extra cash? Should you lease or buy? Get the point?

Say the 10 items sell for $10. You paid $10 for 11 items.\nyou paid $0.909 per item and sold it for $1.\n\nProfit is $.091 on $1.00  or 9.0909%

the article is sold at a loss so the cp(cost price) is more than sp(selling price). or\nloss = cp-sp\n=> cp = loss +sp.....1)\nsp =138 Rs\nloss = 8% of cp = cp*8/100\nfrom1)\n=> cp = [cp8/100] + 138\ncp[1 - [8/100]] = 138\ncp[92/100]=138\n=> cp = 138*100/92\ncp =13800/92\nsolve it further to get result
