Target Corporation Sales Growth Projection?
Q. I am doing a project which needs to project Target's sales for the next 10 years, but I get low R-square when running a regression. I tried to run a regression between Target's past 10 years sales growth with economic index(GDP growth, consumer expenditure growth, population growth, etc.) I am not sure I got unreliable data or what, I always get low R-square. The got the index data from www.stls.frb.org/fred Anyone can tell me how should I project the sales for next 10 years?

A. If I were still in business, (sold it), I think I'd have to throw all the history of the business, ie, sales volume, into the trash. I have no idea how any retail business could possibly project out for , "This Next Ten Years. 5 years would be a challenge. 1-2 years may be a bit closer to reality. I would think that you may have to do projections, as best you can, in 2 year increments, then come up with some kind of average growth. I'm inclined to think that there may be very limited growth, if any, for 2 years hence. I see this Green thing and government controls reducing and/or limiting the amount of discretionary income for the working class. Consider the impact of Energy prices, Automobile prices, as a result of required changes,… [cont.]

C Programming: How do you calculate the average in a loop?
Q. hi guys, i just want to ask something about this program im making for my assignment. im supposed to make a program that will display numbers 10 to 100 with intervals of 10, in the left column and the profit(5% of the sales) on the right column. after the loop ends, the average of the sales should be displayed at the bottom. and my question is... whats the code for calculating the average of the loop? here's my code: #include void main() { float sales, avg; printf("Sales Projection (in thousands).\n\n"); printf("\t Sales\t Profit\n"); for (sales=10;sales<=100;sales+=10) { printf("\t$%.f\t$%.2f\n",sales, sales*0.05); } printf("\n\t Average Sales: $%.2f", avg); } any help would be very much… [cont.]

A. The average is the sum of the items divided by the number of items. But you knew that. Declare a variable to hold the sum and initialize it outside the loop float, sales, avg, sum; sum = 0; While you are printing out the sales, keep a running total inside the loop sum += sales; after the loop, calculate the average avg = sum / 10; In the more general case, you'd know beforehand or calculate how many items you added up, and you'd divide by that instead of by the constant 10.

If I know that my cost of goods sold is $29,230. How do I figure out my sales projections?
Q. Do I have to calculate each item plus the markup, to figure out how much I will make in a given month or two? With s markup of 120%
Asked by jmozaic - Tue May 13 19:41:55 2008 - Other - Business & Finance - 1 Answers - Comments
A. All you need to know is the mark up formula or the gross margin formula (% to sales) whichever method your company chooses to use. Examples: Say you want a 25% markup (over costs) 29,230 x 1.25 = $36,538 in Sales. But...If you want a 25% gross margin: 29,230 / (1-.25) = $38,973 in Sales Addtl info @ 120% mark up: (29,230 x 1.20) + 29,230 = $64,306 in Sales, or: 29,230 x 2.20 = $64,306 in Sales. (64,306 - 29,230 = $35,076 Gross Margin). 35,076 / 29,230 = 120% Mark Up.

why is it important to know your monthly sales projections?
Q.
Asked by Milena - Mon May 3 08:41:45 2010 - Corporations - 1 Answers - Comments
A. Well there are several reasons. 1. Administratively it is important because you need it to set goals and see if staff meet the goals. If you don't have projections then you have no idea how to measure success or failure of your company...eg, sales of icecreams are down on last month, but winter is approaching so this is expected and matches the sales projects. Or sales are up from last month, but summer has arrived, so the actual sales are below expectiations so something is wrong. 2. Financially it is important to know what your money should be for the month.

Asked by Jo - Wed Jun 6 10:18:22 2007 - Insurance - 2 Answers - Comments
A. Look and see if the first quarter even remotely resembles the first quarter of last year. Is it higher? Then calculate how high as a percentage and use that percentage on every quarter. Now ask your self "Is this realistic?" If it is, you're done. If Q1 this year doesn't really compare to Q1 last year (you are the only judge of that), then use all of the weekly data including the Q1 data and consider using the daily data. Note the number of weeks in a month (they change from year to year) especially if certain days of the week are good for sale (there may be more of those days in any given month and it changes every year).

A. Look and see if the first quarter even remotely resembles the first quarter of last year. Is it higher? Then calculate how high as a percentage and use that percentage on every quarter. Now ask your self "Is this realistic?" If it is, you're done. If Q1 this year doesn't really compare to Q1 last year (you are the only judge of that), then use all of the weekly data including the Q1 data and consider using the daily data. Note the number of weeks in a month (they change from year to year) especially if certain days of the week are good for sale (there may be more of those days in any given month and it changes every year). Note that there are differing amounts of "working days" to. If you are open only during the week,… [cont.]

A. Cost of sales, and especially direct cost of sales, are the cost of what you are selling. In the classic accounting situation, if you buy a widget for $5 and sell it for $10, then your cost of sales is $5. When you buy a computer for $1,000 at a retail store, the store's cost of sales is what it paid for the computer. Salespeople, ads, space, and administration are not included. Say the store paid $500 to the manufacturer; then its cost of sales is $500 for that computer. If the manufacturer paid $200 for the parts and $100 for the manufacturing labor, plant overhead, etc., then the manufacturer's cost of sales is $300.
