HOW MUCH DID THE STORE LOSE? $100 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76909969 The sale to the thief, from the stores point of view, was a legit sale. The initial 100 will be missing when reconciling the register. Correct answer, but incorrect reasoning. The cash will only be short $30. They won't discover the other $70 in losses until they take inventory. |

THEN HE BUYS $70 OF GOODS FROM THAT STORE & GETS $30 CHANGE. HOW MUCH DID THE STORE LOSE? The only real question is can you steal something form a thief that hasn't been stolen itself yet. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72696171 PROFIT = THEFT You can call it what you ant to if it makes you feel better about being ripped off Then given your philosophy, are you self sustaining and providing everything for yourself and family? Are you managing cattle, chickens, vegetable gardens and everything (including EXPENSE) that goes into that? Are you making your clothes out of foxes you slaughter? Are you collecting rain water to drink? Communism is a failed system and it has been proven time and time again. The person you go buy your "stuff" from has a lot of other costs that you're too young and stupid to understand. And if you don't like it, do it yourself. I am not a "communist" ,but you do have shit for brains. Profit is a form of taxation on the people who do all of the work So, you are not self sustaining and have no idea about the expense that would take. You expect "shops" to provide for all your needs and you want it at the cost the shop pays, LOL. As if they don't have families of their own to take care of. Wow, you are such a tard, LOL. Young, I assume. Either a paid troll or a gen Z. I don't think even millennials are this naive. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 50381272 The store lost $100 period. No other answer. No reason to attach the $100 to the next transaction. It could be anybody else that bought the 70. The store lost $100 period and no other calculation or information is required. |

If Barry or Biden or Hunter did the deed then the entire theft would have been billions. If Congress is added into the equation then the total is around $31T. Come on Butch, we need a wee bit more info as to the identy of the perp. |

There's nothing particularly shameful with getting tricked by a trick-question with a stupidly simple answer, at first, like I did (my excuse was that it was early and I was still groggy, yet still set on proving my own fabrications); but when it gets broken down to you over & over and you still don't get it, is another thing....

HOW MUCH DID THE STORE LOSE? didn't read all of the 13+ pages of comments, forgive if this is redundant. the answer is $100. the cash theft and the routine purchase transaction are completely separate events. The use of the stolen cash to make a legitimate purchase is irrelevant. Store suffered $100 loss. |

HOW MUCH DID THE STORE LOSE? $100 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76909969 The sale to the thief, from the stores point of view, was a legit sale. The initial 100 will be missing when reconciling the register. Store pays income tax on the $100 it made. Store pays sales tax on the $70 sale and income tax on the net of the sale minus sales tax. Corporate tax rate is 21% and let's say sales tax is 5%. From just the dollars used in this transaction: Gov makes (income tax on $100) + (sales tax on $70) + (income tax on net proceeds from $70 sale) Gov makes (100 x 0.21) + (70 x 0.05) + (66.5 * .21) Gov makes 21 + 3.50 + 13.97 = $38.47 WHO IS REALLY THE THIEF?? |

THEN HE BUYS $70 OF GOODS FROM THAT STORE & GETS $30 CHANGE. HOW MUCH DID THE STORE LOSE? So, two issues this thread brought to light... The concept of "value" of a product (some said it's just the cost that the store pays as opposed to the value they could get on the market) And the idea that people shouldn't have to pay a store to make a profit. So basically, it's a capitalist vs. communist thread. Ginseng |
