Students will apply the techniques of mark‑up, margin and inventory turnover to reconstruct missing figures when a set of accounting records is incomplete, and evaluate the reliability of the reconstructed data. This addresses the Cambridge IGCSE Accounting (0452) objectives:
| Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
| SP | Selling price (sales revenue) |
| CP | Cost price (purchase cost) |
| GP | Gross profit = SP – CP |
| COGS | Cost of goods sold |
| OS | Opening stock |
| CS | Closing stock |
| P | Purchases during the period |
| AI | Average inventory = (OS + CS) ÷ 2 |
| IT | Inventory turnover ratio = COGS ÷ AI |
| MU | Mark‑up % = (GP ÷ CP) × 100 |
| MG | Margin % = (GP ÷ SP) × 100 |
Mark‑up % (MU)
