Standard Operating Procedure for Pricing Gallery Artwork
You have recently been hired as an operations assistant at a cooperative community art gallery. To train a new seasonal volunteer on the gallery's pricing workflow, you need to document the standard procedure for setting a painting's retail price.
In your documentation, you must recall and clearly explain the following:
- Define the terms 'original cost', 'mark-up amount', and 'list price' within the context of retail gallery sales.
- Provide the two algebraic formulas used to determine: a. The mark-up amount () using the original cost () and the mark-up rate (). b. The final list price () using the original cost () and the mark-up amount ().
- Explain the logical 'sanity check' you should perform once the final list price has been calculated to ensure the math makes practical sense before writing the price tag.
Write a clear, structured guide that covers these three requirements.
