please answers part d only

here answers of a b c

 

Step 1

Markup

Markup is amount added to cost to recover overhead and gain profits.

Markup is also generally known as profit.

Markup = Selling Price - Cost Price

Markup % on Cost = Markup/Cost * 100

Step 2 Part (a)

Selling Price of signature jeans = OMR 2300

Cost Price of signature jeans = OMR 1800

Markup = Selling Price - Cost Price

Markup = OMR 2300 - OMR 1800 = OMR 500

Markup amount in OMR = OMR 500

Markup as a % of cost = Markup amount/Cost Price * 100

Markup as a % of cost = OMR 500/OMR 1800 *100

Markup as a % of cost = 27.7777777%

Hence,

Markup as a percentage of cost  = 27.777777%

Step 3 Part (b)

Lamp Cost = OMR 200

The markup on Selling Price = 40%

Markup = Selling Price - Cost Price

Hence,

Selling Price = Cost Price + Markup

We know, 40% markup is on selling price

Hence,

Let's consider selling price as 'x'

Markup = 40% on selling price

Markup = 40% * x

Markup = .40x

Putting these values in equation we get,

Selling Price = Cost Price + Markup

x = OMR 200 + .4x

x - .4x = OMR 200

.6x = OMR 200

x = OMR 200/.6

x = OMR 333.33

Hence,

Selling Price of Lamp is OMR 333.33

Step 4 Part (c)

Tennis Racket selling price = OMR 800

The markup on Cost Price= 40%

Markup = Selling Price - Cost Price

Hence,

Cost Price= Selling Price - Markup

We know, 40% markup is on cost price

Hence,

Let's consider cost price as 'x'

Markup = 40% on cost price

Markup = 40% * x

Markup = .40x

Putting these values in equation we get,

Cost Price= Selling Price - Markup

x = OMR 800 - .4x

x + .4x = OMR 800

1.4x = OMR 800

x = OMR 800/1.4

x = OMR 571.42857

Hence,

Cost Price of Tennis Racket is OMR 571.42857
