Au Advertisement address- ed to our Local Retailers ..,932MEEXIMMEZIMEL=OMIS=EZEIMMEL It is possible for a retailer to calculate the number of sales transactions required by his business each day, week, month, year. Here's stow the calculation can be made: 1. Sunt up the estimated operating expenses for the year --the antrunts•required for rent, wages, delivery, supplies of various sorts, insurance, repairs, losses. Add, also, the net profit which one should have: to reward his capital and enterprise. 2. Divide this total by the number of working days in the year -gay 305, in order to get the .average daily coat of operating one 's business. 1. Ascertain the amount of the average sales transactions. (The daily records of individ- ual sales, over a period of a month or so, will enable one to make this calculation). 1 Paekt;n the amount of pies .profit ea:'nod on an average sales transaction -20-25- 80 per cent. . 8. Divide the total average daily expenses by the profit on an avers o sales transaction. . Thus one gets the number of sales teansac- tions requited daily to recover the costs of do- ing business. ILLUSTRATION, Suppose that you find that 'your annual, ex penses, incltuling a desired net .profit, total ' $4;600; or, say, $13.11 .per day; that your aver- age sales Iran:action is 56 cents, , n with 11 the average gross profit, at 25 _stet cent. would he 14 conte. Then your required number of sales transactions per day would be 813.11 &vi:lc-.1 by 141, or 94, Now, to assure an average of 94 sales transactions per day, rain or shine, will require you to be extraordinarily diligent in the matt" cf attracting customer's.
