Interactive Exercise 4-11: Markdown
A store that sells sportswear bought a shipment of swimsuits and marked it up by 40% of the cost to cover overhead expenses, and 60% of cost to cover profit. As the fall merchandise came in, the manager decided to clear out the swimsuits to make room for the new stock. What rate of markdown can the store give to the remaining swimsuits to break-even?
