Posted on by 125

I have set up unit cost of an item as USD 10,000 and profit/price calculation as price=cost+profit. On the profit percentage field i have put 30%. The system has shown unit price as USD 14,281 yet i was expecting 13,000. Can someone give an insight on this

    The formula for the validation is like below:

    "Price/Profit Calculation"::"Price=Cost+Profit":

                           if "Profit %" < 100 then begin

                               GetGLSetup;

                               "Unit Price" :=

                                 Round(

                                   ("Unit Cost" / (1 - "Profit %" / 100)) *

                                   (1 + CalcVAT),

                                   GLSetup."Unit-Amount Rounding Precision");

    So flesh that out with your values step by step:

    "Unit Cost" = 10,000

    1-30 / 100 = 0.7

    VAT = 0

    Rounding will be whatever. Resulting in this equation:

    (10,000 / 0.7) * 1 = 14285.71429

    (Price - Cost)/(Price) = Margin

    In your example (13000 - 10000) / 13000 = 23%

    (14,281 - 10,000) / 14,281 = 30%
