Marked Price, Discount and VAT

Marked Price, Discount and VAT

What is Marked Price, Discount, and VAT? 


Marked Price

 

The price which is listed or printed on the item or article for sale is called the marked price or labeled price of the item. It is denoted by MP.



Discount

 

When a shopkeeper reduces a certain amount from the marked price of an article and sells it to the customers, the reduced amount is called a discount. Discount usually is given as a certain percent of the marked price.

 

Thus, 

Formula of Discount amount and Discount percent: (1) Discount amount = Discount percent of MP   (2) Discount percent = (Discount Amount)/MP  ×100%

  

Actual Selling Price (SP)

 

The price of goods after deducting the discount amount from the marked price (MP) is called the actual selling price or SP.

 

Thus, 

SP = MP – Discount amount



VAT (Value Added Tax)

 

VAT (Value Added Tax) is a government tax levied on the cost of certain goods or services. The VAT rate is usually in percent and is decided by the government. The rate of VAT varies from country to country and there are certain goods and services which are free from VAT. For example, educational items, social welfare services, etc. are VAT-free goods and services.

 

VAT is levied on the actual selling price SP.

 

Thus, 

Formula of VAT amount and VAT percent: (1) VAT amount = VAT percent of SP   (2) VAT percent = (VAT Amount)/SP × 100%


SP with VAT

 

The final price of goods after deducting discount amount (which is SP) and adding the VAT amount is called SP with VAT.

 

Thus,

SP with VAT = SP + VAT amount


  

What about CP?


CP is the cost price of the item for the seller (shopkeeper). Then, the shopkeeper marked the price of that item higher than the cost price. So, CP always is less the MP. Therefore, by giving a discount also, a shopkeeper makes a profit in his business. 


Since VAT is the tax paid by the customer to the government. This amount is not calculated for profit or loss.

Formula List 


Here is the list of all formulas on MP, Discount, SP, and VAT.

 

1. Discount Amount = Discount % of MP     2. Discount % = (Discount Amount)/MP  ×100%      3. SP = MP – Discount Amount     4. SP = (100 - d%)/(100 )  × MP     5. MP = 100/(100 - d% )  × SP     6. VAT amount = VAT percent of SP     7. VAT percent = (VAT Amount)/SP  ×100%     8. SP with VAT = SP + VAT amount     9. SP with VAT = (100 + v%)/(100 )  × SP     10. SP = 100/(100 + v% )  × SP with VAT     11. MP = (100 × 100)/((100 - d%)(100 + v%))  × SP with VAT     12. SP with VAT = ((100 - d%)(100 + v%))/(100 × 100)  × MP

Worked Out Examples

 

Example 1: The marked price of a book is Rs. 200. If a discount of 10% is offered. Find the selling price of the book.


Solution: 


Here,

MP = Rs. 200

Discount = 10%

SP = ?


We know,       

SP = MP – discount amount 	     = 200 – 10% of 200 	     = 200 – "10" /"100"  × 200 	     = 200 – 20 	     = Rs. 180

 The selling price of the book = Rs. 180.

 


Example 2: The marked price of a computer is Rs. 30000. If it is sold after 20% discount and then 30% VAT is levied on it. Find the price of the computer including VAT.


Solution: 


Here,

MP = Rs. 30000

Discount = 20%

VAT = 13%

SP with VAT = ?


We know,        

SP with VAT = "(100 – d%)(100 + v%)" /"100 × 100"  × MP 	     	          = "(100 – 20)(100 + 13)" /"100 × 100"  × 30000 	                      = "80 × 113" /"100 × 100"  × 30000 	     	           = Rs. 27120

The price of the computer including VAT = Rs. 27120.



Example 3: After allowing a 15% discount on the marked price of a radio, 13% VAT is levied, then the cost of the radio becomes Rs. 1997. Find the marked price of the radio.


Solution: 


Here,

SP with VAT = Rs. 1997

Discount = 15%

VAT = 13%

MP = ?


We know,      

MP = "100 × 100" /"(100 – d%)(100 + v%)"  × SP with VAT 	      = "100 × 100" /"(100 – 15)(100 + 13)"  × 1997 	      = "100 × 100" /"85 × 113"  × 1997 	       = Rs. 2080 (approx.)

The marked price of the radio = Rs. 2080.



Example 4: The marked price of an article is Rs. 5000. After allowing some percent of discount and adding 10% VAT, the article is sold for Rs. 4400. Find the discount percent.


Solution: 


Here,

MP = Rs. 5000

SP with VAT = Rs. 4400

VAT = 10%

Discount % = x% (let)


We know,

MP = "100 × 100" /"(100 – d%)(100 + v%)"  × SP with VAT i.e.  5000 = "100 × 100" /"(100 – x)(100 + 10)"  × 4400 or,   5000 = "100 × 100" /("100 – x" )" 110"  × 4400 or,   5 = "100 " /(("100 – x" ) ) × 4 or,   5(100 – x) = 400 or,   500 – 5x = 400 or,   – 5x = 400 – 500 or,   – 5x = – 100 or,    x = "100" /"5"  or,   x = 20

     Discount percent = 20%


 


Example 5: A machine is sold at Rs. 99000 after 10% discount and 10% VAT on the marked price. Find the discount amount and VAT amount.


Solution: 


Here,

SP with VAT = Rs. 99000

Discount = 10%

VAT = 10%

Discount Amount =?

VAT Amount = ?


We know, SP = "100" /"100 + v% "  × SP with VAT 	    = "100" /"100 + 10 "  × 99000 	    = "100" /"110 "  × 99000 	    = Rs. 90000 ∴   VAT Amount = SP with VAT – SP  		= Rs. 99000 – 90000  		= Rs. 9000 Again, 	MP = "100" /"100 – d% "  × SP 	     =  "100" /"100 – 10 "  × 90000 	     =  "100" /"90"  × 90000 	     = Rs. 100000 ∴   Discount Amount = MP – SP  		       = Rs. 100000 – 90000 		       = Rs. 10000

   The discount amount is Rs. 10000 and VAT amount is Rs. 9000.



Example 6: After allowing a 20% discount on the marked price and then levying 10% VAT, a radio was sold. If the buyer had paid Rs. 320 for VAT, how much was the discount?


Solution: 


Here,

Discount = 20%

VAT = 10%

VAT Amount = Rs. 320


We know, 


VAT Amount = VAT% of SP


∴   10% of SP = Rs. 320 or,	"10" /"100"  × SP = Rs. 320 or, 	SP = Rs. 320 × "100" /"10"  or, 	SP = Rs. 3200 Now, MP = "100" /"100 – d% "  × SP 	     = "100" /"100 – 20 "  × 3200 	     = "100" /"80 "  × 3200 	     = Rs. 4000 ∴   Discount Amount = MP – SP  		        = Rs. 4000 – 3200  		        = Rs. 800 Ans.

Rs. 800 was the discount amount.



Example 7: A shopkeeper allowed a 10% discount on a watch of marked price of Rs. 600. If he got 8% profit, find the cost price of the watch.


Solution: 


Here,

MP = Rs. 600

Discount = 10%

Profit = 8%

CP = ?


We know, 	SP = MP – discount amount 	     = 600 – 10% of 600 	     = 600 – "10" /"100"  × 600 	     = 600 – 60 	     = Rs. 540 Now, 	CP = "100" /"100 + P%"  × SP                  = "100" /"100 + 8"  × 540                  = "100" /"108"  × 540                  = Rs. 500

The cost price of the watch = Rs. 500.



Example 8: Davish sold a watch at a gain of 20% after allowing a discount of 15%. Had it been sold after allowing a 30% discount, there would have been a loss of Rs. 400. Find the marked price of the watch.


Solution: 


Here,

MP = Rs. x (let)


1st Case, Discount = 15% ∴   SP = MP – Discount % of MP 	         = x – 15% of x 	         = x – "15" /"100"  × x 	         = "85x" /"100"  Profit = 20% ∴   CP1 = "100" /"100 + P%"  × SP            = "100" /"100 + 20"  × "85x" /"100"             = "85x" /"120"             = "17x" /"24"   2nd Case, Discount = 30% ∴   SP = MP – Discount % of MP 	         = x – 30% of x 	         = x – "30" /"100"  × x 	         = "70x" /"100"  	         = "7x" /"10"  Loss = Rs. 400 ∴   CP2 = SP + Loss = "7x" /"10"  + 400  But, CP is same, ∴   CP1 = CP2 i.e.	"17x" /"24"  = "7x" /"10"  + 400 or,	"17x" /"24"  – "7x" /"10"  = 400 or,	"170x – 168x" /"240"  = 400  or,	"2x" /"240"  = 400 or, 	2x = 96000 or,	x = 48000

   The marked price of the watch is Rs. 48000


 

Example 9: When an article is sold at a discount of 10% on its marked price, a profit of Rs. 8 is earned by the seller. If the same article is sold without allowing a discount there will be a profit of Rs. 20. What should be the cost price of the article?


Solution: 


Here,

CP = Rs. x (let)


1st Case, Profit = Rs. 8 ∴   SP = CP + Profit 	         = x + 8 Discount = 10% ∴   MP = "100" /"100 – d% "  × SP 	         = "100" /"100 – 10 "  × (x + 8) 	         = "100(x + 8)" /"90 "    	         = "10x + 80" /"9 "  2nd Case, Discount = 0% (No discount) ∴  SP = MP = "100(x + 8)" /"90 "  Profit = Rs. 20 ∴  CP = SP – Profit i.e.	x = "10x + 80" /"9 "  – 20 or,	x = "10x + 80 – 180" /"9 "  or, 	9x = 10x – 100 or,	9x – 10x = – 100 or,	– x = – 100  or, 	x = 100

  Cost price should be Rs. 100



Example 10: The marked price of an article is 25% above the selling price and the cost price is 20% below the selling price. Find the rate of discount and the profit percentage.


Solution: 


Here,

SP = Rs. x (let)

Marked price is 25% above the selling price,


∴   MP = SP + 25% of SP 	= x + "25" /"100"  × x 	= "125x" /"100"  = "5x" /"4"  ∴   Discount amount = MP – SP = "5x" /"4"  – x = "x" /"4"  ∴   Discount % = "Discount amount" /"MP"  × 100% 		= "x/4" /"5x/4"  × 100% 		= "1" /"5"  × 100% 		= 20%

Again,

Cost price is 20% below the selling price,


∴   CP = SP – 20% of SP          = x – 20% of x          = x – "20" /"100"  × x 	= "80x" /"100"  = "4x" /"5"  ∴   Profit = SP – CP = x – "4x" /"5"  = "x" /"5"  ∴   Profit % = "Profit" /"CP"  × 100% 	= "x/5" /"4x/5"  × 100% 	= "1" /"4"  × 100% 	= 25%

   Discount = 20% and Profit = 25%.

    1. Here is the solution to your problems,

      Solution: Here,
      Price of machine = Rs. 150000
      Price with transportation + profit + local tax,
      = Rs. 150000+4000+7000+1500
      = Rs. 162500
      VAT = 13%
      VAT amount = 13 % of Rs. 162500
      = 13/100 × 162500
      = Rs. 21125

    1. Here is the solution to your problems,

      Solution: Here,
      Price of heater = Rs. 4200
      Price with transportation + profit + local tax,
      = Rs. 4200+250+15% of 4200+150
      = Rs. 4200+250+630+150
      = Rs. 5230
      VAT = 13%
      VAT amount = 13 % of Rs. 5230
      = 13/100 × 5230
      = Rs. 679.90
      Price with VAT to be paid by costumer,
      = Rs. 5230 + 679.90
      = Rs. 5909.90

  19. Radha purchased item at 5% discount if discount amount is rs 74 at what price did she purchase the item

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Solution: Here,
      Discount = 5%

      Discount amount = Rs. 74
      i.e. 5% of MP = Rs. 74
      or, 5/100 × MP = Rs. 74
      or, 1/20 × MP = Rs. 74
      or, MP = Rs. 74 × 20
      or, MP = Rs. 1480

      Now, SP = MP – Discount amount
      = Rs. 1480 – 74
      = Rs. 1406 Ans.

  23. The marked price of an article is Rs 2,800 which is 40 % above the cost price. If it

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Solution: Here,
      MP = Rs. 2800
      Discount = 20%

      SP = (100 – d%)/100 × MP
      = (100 – 20)/100 × 2800
      = 80 × 28
      = Rs. 2240

      MP is 40% above the CP
      i.e. CP + 40% of CP = MP
      or, CP + 40CP/100 = Rs. 2800
      or, CP(1 + 2/5) = Rs. 2800
      or, CP × 7/5 = Rs. 2800
      or, CP = Rs. 2800 × 5/7
      or, CP = Rs. 2000

      Profit = SP – CP = Rs. 2240 – 2000 = Rs. 240
      Profit% = Profit/CP × 100%
      = 240/2000 × 100%
      = 12% Ans.

  24. A retailer bought a watch for Rs 2,500 and he labelled its price 20 % above the cost
    price. If he allows 10 % discount to a customer, find his profit percent.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Solution: Here, CP = Rs. 2500

      MP = CP + 20% of CP
      = Rs. 2500 + 20/100 × 2500
      = Rs. 2500 + 500
      = Rs. 3000

      Discount = 10%

      SP = MP – 10% of MP
      = Rs. 3000 – 10/100 × 3000
      = Rs. 3000 – 300
      = Rs. 2700

      Profit = SP – CP = Rs. 2700 – 2500 = Rs. 200

      Profit% = Profit/CP × 100%
      = 200/2500 × 100%
      = 8% Ans.

    1. Solution: Here,
      Fixed Price = MP = ?
      CP = Rs. 2000
      Profit = 10%
      SP = (100 + P%)/100 × CP
      = (100+10)/100 × 2000
      = 110/100 × 2000
      = Rs. 2200

      Discount = 20%

      MP = 100/(100 – d%) × SP
      = 100/(100 – 20) × 2200
      = 100/80 × 2200
      = 2750

      ∴ Fixed Price = Rs. 2750

    sold at a profit of 10 %. If he had sold it at 5 % discount, find its marked price.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Solution: Here,
      CP = Rs. 5600 – 5% of 5600
      = Rs. 5600 – 280
      = Rs. 5320

      Profit = 10%

      SP = [(100 + P%)/100] × CP
      = [(100 + 5)/100] × 5320
      = [105/100] × 5320
      = Rs. 5586

      Discount = 5%

      MP = [100/(100 – d%)] × SP
      = [100/(100 – 5)] × 5586
      = [100/95] × 5586
      = Rs. 5880

      ∴ Marked price is Rs. 5880. Answer.

    1. Solution:
      Here,
      CP = Rs. x (let)
      MP = CP + 30% of CP = x + 30x/100 = 130x/100 = 13x/10

      Discount = 20%
      SP = [(100 – d%)/100] × MP = [(100 – 20)/100] × 13x/10 = 80/100 × 13x/10 = 52x/50

      Profit = Rs. 150
      i.e. SP – CP = 150
      or, 52x/50 – x = 150
      or, 2x/50 = 150
      or, 2x = 7500
      or, x = 7500/2
      or, x = 3750

      ∴ MP = 13x/10 = 13×3750/10 = Rs. 4875
      ∴ CP = x = Rs. 3750

    1. Question:
      A retailer allowed 4% discount on her/his goods to make 20% profit and sold
      a refrigerator for Rs 10,848 with 13% VAT. By how much is the discount to be
      increased so that she/he can gain only 15%?

      Solution: Here,
      Discount = 4%
      VAT = 13%
      SP with VAT = Rs. 10848
      MP = [100×100/(100-d%)(100+v%)]×SP with VAT
      = [100×100/(100-4)(100+13)]×10848
      = [100×100/96×113]×10848
      = Rs. 10000

      SP = [(100-d%)/100]×MP
      = [(100-4)/100]×10000
      = [96/100]×10000
      = Rs. 9600

      Now,
      1st Case,
      Profit = 20%
      CP = [100/(100+P%)]×SP
      = [100/(100+20)]×9600
      = [100/120)]×9600
      = Rs. 8000

      2nd Case,
      Profit = 15%
      SP = [(100+P%)/100]×CP
      = [(100+15)/100]×8000
      = [115/100]×8000
      =Rs. 9200

      Discount = MP – SP = 10000 – 9200 = Rs. 800

      Discount% = [Discount/MP] × 100%
      = [800/10000]× 100%
      = 8%

      ∴ Discount should be increased to 8%. Ans.


      Question:
      A supplier sold a scanner machine for Rs 41,400 with 15% VAT after allowing
      10% discount on it's marked price and gained 20%. By how much is the discount
      percent to be reduced to increase the profit by 4%?

      Solution: Here,
      Discount = 10%
      VAT = 15%
      SP with VAT = Rs. 41400
      MP = [100×100/(100-d%)(100+v%)]×SP with VAT
      = [100×100/(100-10)(100+15)]×41400
      = [100×100/90×115]×41400
      = Rs. 40000

      SP = [(100-d%)/100]×MP
      = [(100-10)/100]×40000
      = [90/100]×40000
      = Rs. 36000

      Now,
      1st Case,
      Profit = 20%
      CP = [100/(100+P%)]×SP
      = [100/(100+20)]×36000
      = [100/120)]×36000
      = Rs. 30000

      2nd Case,
      Profit = 20+4% = 24%
      SP = [(100+P%)/100]×CP
      = [(100+24)/100]×30000
      = [124/100]×30000
      =Rs. 37200

      Discount = MP – SP = 40000 – 37200 = Rs. 2800

      Discount% = [Discount/MP] × 100%
      = [2800/40000]× 100%
      = 7%

      ∴ Discount should be reduced by (10 – 7)% = 3%. Ans.

    2. 15a) Solution
      Here,Discount =4%
      S.P with VAT =Rs.10,848
      VAT=13%
      S.P with VAT =S.P+VAT% of S.P
      or,Rs.10,848=S.P+13% of S.P
      or,Rs.10,848=S.P+13/100*S.P
      or,Rs.10,848=(100S.P+13S.P)/100
      or,Rs.10,848=(113S.P)/100
      or,Rs.10,848*100/113=S.P
      ∴S.P=Rs.9,600
      Now,
      we know that
      S.P =M.P-D% of M.P
      or,Rs.9,600=M.P-4% of M.P
      or,Rs.9,600=M.P-4/100*M.P
      or,Rs.9,600=(100M.P-4M.P)/100
      or,Rs.9,600*100 =96M.P
      or,Rs.960000/96=M.P
      ∴M.P=Rs.10000
      Case I
      Profit =20%
      S.P with out VAT=Rs.9,600
      We know that
      S.P =C.P+P% of C.P
      or,Rs.9,600 =C.P+20% of C.P
      or,Rs.9,600=C.P+20/100*C.P
      or,Rs.9,600=(100C.P+20C.P)/100
      or,Rs.9,600=(120C.P)/100
      or,Rs.9,600*100/120=C.P
      ∴C.P =Rs.8,000
      Case II
      Profit =15%
      C.P =Rs.8,000
      We kmow that
      S.P =C.P+P% of C.P
      =Rs.8,000+15/100*Rs,8,000
      =Rs.8,000+15*Rs.80
      =Rs.8,000+Rs.1,200
      =Rs.9,200
      Discount =(M.P-S.P)/(M.P)*100%
      =(Rs.10,000-Rs.9,200)/(Rs.10000)*100%
      =( Rs.800)/(Rs.10000)*100%
      =8%
      Therefore,increased discount percent to gain 15% =8%-4%=4% Ans.

      We know,
      MP – Discount amount + VAT amount = SP with VAT
      i.e. 10000 – x + 9x/10 = 9900
      or, – x + 9x/10 = 9900 – 10000
      or, – x/10 = – 100

      SP with VAT = Rs. 23391
      Discount = 10%
      Discount amount = Rs. 2300

    1. Solution: Here,
      Let, CP = x
      MP is 30% above the CP,
      ∴ MP = CP + 30% of CP = x + [30/100] × x = x + 3x/10 = 13x/10

      SP is 20% less than MP,
      ∴ SP = MP – 20% of MP = 13x/10 – [20/100] × 13x/10 = 13x/10 – 13x/50 = (65x – 13x)/50 = 52x/50 = 26x/25

      Profit = SP – CP = 26x/25 – x = x/25

      Profit % = [Profit/CP] × 100%
      = [(x/25)/x] × 100%
      = [1/25] × 100%
      = 4% Ans.

      or, 10170 = 10300 + 100x – 103x – x2
      or, 10170 = 10300 – 3x – x2
      or, x2 + 3x + 10170 – 10300 = 0
      or, x2 + 3x – 130 = 0
      or, x2 + 13x – 10x – 130 = 0
      or, x(x + 13) – 10(x + 13) = 0
      or, (x + 13)(x – 10) = 0
      ∴ Either, x + 13 = 0 or, x = -13 (negative value rejected)
      Or, x – 10 = 0 or, x = 10
      ∴ Discount = x = 10%

      SP = (100 – d%)MP/100 = (100 – 10)10000/100 = 9000
      VAT amount = SP with VAT – SP = 10117 – 9000 = Rs. 1117

  76. If 'a', 'b' and 'c' be the SP, SP after discount, SP with VAT,
    write the relation among them.

    1. Solution:
      Here,
      SP before discount = MP = a
      SP after discount = SP = b
      SP with VAT = c

      Discount amount = MP – SP = a – b
      VAT amount = SP with VAT – SP = c – b
