simple math

wow...some people should NOT be accountants.

We mark up printing costs 25% as a handling and prep fee for the press. For some reason, my accounting person thinks we should take the figure [in this case, $1190] and divide it by .75 to get a 25% increase. I said YOU ARE DEAD ASS WRONG! she said "we've been doing that for years" and i said "then you've been price gouging the clients for years!"

simple equation: 1190 x 1.25 = 1490 [rounded up]
her version 1190 / .75 = 1587

proof: 1190 / 4 = 297.5
297.5 + 1190 = 1490 [rounded up]

Maybe you should bend her over the desk to teach her a lesson

i wouldn't touch her with your dick

You can borrow Spaz's. He likes the chicks no one else would touch

[third_shift|studios]

oh, hilarious...i just got her 'reasoning'

1190 /.75 = 1586
.25 x 1586 = 396
1190 + 396 = 1586

sooooo we've not only gouged the client, but also COMPLETELY changed the original number.

SHHHHHHH now you can say everything is on sale!

[Spaz]

send her that and see if she understands it...

[rapter34]

here is who you need to do your accounting.

He can count to infinity and divide by zero. Also if the numbers don't come out right he will pound them into submission until they are right.

What she was suggesting is “grossing up”. I see it occasionally when looking at payroll when employers do not want employees responsible for tax on non-cash bonuses.

She's calculating a 25% margin in lieu of a 25% markup. Pretty standard actually.
