While shopping for a new LCD television you discover the following prices at three different shops. Prices are for the some item.

Mad Max Electrics: $975.00 cash

Dinky Di’s Discounts: 6 payments of $176

Metrovision: $1179 minus 10% discount

Which shop is offering the best price?

Mad max electrics: $975.00

Dinky di’s discounts: 6 х $176 = $ 1056

Mertovision: 0.10 х $1179 =$ 117.90 $1179 - $117.90 = $1061.10

Mad max electrics offers the best price because it is the cheapest.

TASK 2

As the new manager for Ishy’s Discount Stores you need to calculate the final selling price of items below. As a general rule, entertainment products are 100 % mark-up, other electrical products are 50 % mark-up and clothing is 15 % mark-up. You will also need to add on the GST (at 10%) in order to give your staff the amounts to mark on the goods for sale.

ITEM COST PRICE

MP3 $15.50

MEN’S TRACK PANTS $5.00

CD/DVD PLAYER $35.00

ELECTRIC KETTLE $9.90

MP3 $15.50 + 100% = $31

$31 + 10% = $34.10

Men’s Track Pants $5.00 +15% = $5.78

$5.78 + 10% = $77

CD/DVD Played $9.90 + 50% = $70

$70 + 10% = $77

Electric Kettle $9.90 + 50% = $14.85

$14.85 + 10% = $30

TASK 3

In September there will be a store wide promotion. Electrical goods will be 20 % off, clothing 50 % off with 10 % off everything else in the store. Work out prices for the items from Task 2 during September.

MP3 $15.50 - 10% = $13.17

Men’s Track Pants $5.00 -50% = $2.50

CD/DVD Played $9.90 - 10% = $31.50

Electric Kettle $9.90 - 20% = $7.92

TASK 4

One of your top workers has come to see you about an apparent mistake in her pay. She should receive $14.50 per hour for normal hours worked (maximum 8 hours per day) With time-and-a-half for any other week day hours and the first 3 hours on Saturday and double time for any other hours at the weekend. Her time sheet shows the following details:

DAY START TIME FINISH TIME MEAL BREAK

Monday 10:00 am 6:00 pm Yes

Tuesday 12.30 am 5:30 pm No

Wednesday 9:00 am 6:00 pm Yes

Thursday 10:00 am 9:30 pm Yes

Friday 1:00 pm 5:00 pm No

Saturday 10:00 am 4:00 pm No

Sunday 10:00 am 3:00 pm Yes

Calculate her gross pay for the hours shown.

Monday 10:00am – 6:00pm = 7hr

$14.50 х 7hr = $101.50

Tuesday 12:30am – 5:30pm = 5he 30min

$14.50 х 5.40 = $78.30

Wednesday 9:00am – 6:00pm = 10hr

$14.50 х 8 = $116

$21.75 х 2 = $43.44

$43.44 + $116 = $1205.44

Thursday 10:00am – 9:30pm = 12hr 30min

$24.75 х 4hr 30min = $93.50

$93.50 + $14.50 = $108

Friday 1:00pm – 5:00pm = 5hr

$14.50 х 5hr = $75.00

Saturday 10:00am – 4:00pm = 7hr

$29 х 3hr = $87

$21.25 х 4 = $87

$87 + $87 = $174

Sunday 10:00am – 3:00pm = 6hr

$29 х 6hr = $174

Time and a half = $14.50 ÷ 2 = $7.25

Double = $14.50 + $14.50 =$29
