Another key tool used to plan effectively is the classification plans that were covered in Chapter 13. There are many details found on classification reports that can help a buyer
build an assortment of merchandise for all customer taste and buying levels. Although this is not a weekly type of report, it is strategic at the onset of a season or as a means to
maintain stock levels of a classification of merchandise.
The spreadsheet template you will use to complete the problems on the CD will look like the following. Again, the formulas for this style of report have already been programmed in
and you can benefit by looking at how very large amounts of money can be representative of very small quantities per style, color or price.

Working with Cost Sheets shows buyers how to to calculate how much it costs to actually make a product. That's right, not only do the private label firms design and develop their
own goods, but many of the large retailers today have separate divisions for product development, such as Federated with their division of the Federated Merchandising Group, who
create their own product lines and as you learned in the book, it is a tool buyers must know how to complete and evaluate in the job market today.
Yes, product development specialists are usually the key people responsible for completing Cost Sheets, but buyers must know how to read them and to use them. As an
information source they can help buyers shop the market for the best prices and the data also helps the buyer to price merchandise purchased as a private label or directly from a
manufacturer.
Take a look at the example, review your workbook and then, using the given data determine the cost of goods to be sold on the spreadsheet template.
