The question doesn't make a lot of sense, re the 'biggest markup'. The weighted average markup is 0.3 x 5.7% + 0.3 x 6.5% + 0.4 x 8.0% = 6.86%

But 'biggest markup'? Got me f**ked....the biggest of them is obviously the 8%, but that can't be what they are asking for.

Thanks, mate - the 6.86% I think is the right answer from the ones given to me (I think).

I just couldn't come up with an answer that matched any of the four answers supplied, so I was wondering what the formula was to calculate it.

But your formula makes sense - thank you very much, mate!

I actually got a call for the next stage of the interview!

No worries mate.

 

[Eelementary]

I'm pretty sure the formula you gave was what they were after, but they worded it strangely.

Also, I just couldn't come up with a figure close to any of the 4 numbers given.

They called me this morning to proceed to the next stage of the process, but not knowing how to get the answer was going to drive me mad.

Thank you very much!

Hope you get the job mate.

Hope you get the job mate.

Thanks, mate!

I applied last Wednesday, and did the first online test Saturday, and the second today.

This morning, they called me to set up a phone interview for tomorrow.

Things are moving quick!

Seems to pretty bloody low (gross) margin business at 6.86%, they'd want to turn over a fair whack

Good luck Eelementary.

I heard independent petrol stations have a lower margin.

Yep, I worked at an independent shell in the early 2000s before Coles took over them all. Sometimes there was no markup on fuel. They relied on sales in the shop , mechanic etc to turn a profit.

It's for a jewellery retailer.

The example was a hypothetical scenario.

At least, I think so..
