Takeaways

• 😀 Profit can be calculated by adding a percentage to the cost price, which determines the selling price.
• 😀 Example: A recorder bought for IDR 300,000 with a 6% profit results in a selling price of IDR 675,000.
• 😀 When repair costs are involved, they must be subtracted from the cost price to adjust the selling price accordingly.
• 😀 If the repair cost is IDR 200,000, and the initial cost price is IDR 2,000,000, the adjusted cost price becomes IDR 1,800,000.
• 😀 Profit percentage can be added directly to the cost price to find the selling price for various products.
• 😀 If there’s a loss, it’s necessary to calculate the selling price based on the percentage of the loss.
• 😀 Example: A product bought for IDR 450,000 and sold at a 10% loss would be sold for IDR 405,000.
• 😀 The formula for calculating a selling price after a loss is: Selling price = (90/100) * Cost price.
• 😀 It's important to adjust the cost price for any additional costs (such as repairs) to maintain accurate pricing.
• 😀 Understanding profit, cost price, and loss percentages helps in making sound business pricing decisions.

Q & A

What is the formula to calculate the selling price based on profit?

The selling price is calculated as: Selling Price = Cost Price + Profit. For example, if the cost price is IDR 300,000 and the profit is 6%, the selling price would be IDR 675,000.

How do repairs affect the cost price when calculating selling price?

If repairs are involved, the repair cost must be subtracted from the original cost price to determine the adjusted cost price. For example, if the original cost price of a laptop is IDR 2,000,000 and the repair cost is IDR 200,000, the adjusted cost price becomes IDR 1,800,000.

How is profit percentage calculated in the example with a 6% profit?

In the example, the profit is calculated by taking 6% of the cost price and adding it to the cost price. So, if the cost price is IDR 300,000, the selling price becomes IDR 675,000, which includes a 6% profit.

What is the impact of a 10% loss on the selling price?

If an item is bought for IDR 450,000 and there is a 10% loss, the selling price is calculated by taking 90% of the cost price. In this case, the selling price would be IDR 405,000.

How do you calculate the price when there's a 20% profit?

To calculate a 20% profit, the cost price is multiplied by 120% (100% for the original price and 20% for profit). For example, if the original cost price is IDR 1,800,000, the selling price will be IDR 2,160,000.

What is the significance of the '120%' mentioned in the transcript?
