You run a shop and someone steals $100

[Ohms Law]

Breh let me try this again. Let's do this from the theifs point of view.

He has zero dollars
He steals $100 so now he has 100

He uses 60 of that to buy a shirt so now he has 40. U add the value of that shirt (60)to the 40 because we both agree it's a trade off so he's back to 100. As a result of that transaction, he gets $40 in change to top it off.
$140


I mean it's not that difficult. The thief can't lose the $60 from the transaction wether it's cash or merchandise, he can only gain. Where as the store owner can't gain a profit form the transaction, he can only lose.

Mods please ban this man for stupidity

he would only get that 40 in change

if and only if

he paid $100 of that $100 to buy the $60 shirt
so no he wouldn't have $40 left over AND get $40 in change back

you can only have one of those (40 change back, or 40 left over he didn't pay for the shirt with)

this ur last post i'm not helping u no more

I'm going to clarify my answer

100 in goods and cash...
But only 40 in cash

60 is really an opportunity cost of selling the good at 60...

If you get technical, you could get into the product costing, how much did the store buy the product for. And what margin is he selling it at

 

[Giselle]

$100

Just imagine instead of taking $100 he takes $60 of food and $40 cash

U right. I didn't clearly read the change exchange for the $100. I was thinking he used only $60 of the $100. This is what I get for over thinking after working grave yard shift.

I'll take my L though

Nah not at all. But after seeing you make a fool of yourself trying to understand elementary math, I would think you would just never come back in this thread.

 

[Yapdatfool]

40 I guess

But the fact that they took 100 off a previous sale and recycled that money for 60 (paid for with my stolen cash), then I give them 40, I can see 200 or more in losses easy.

I'm trying to figure how someone stole 100$ from my safe w/out me knowing.

You're retarded, so let me elucidate. Let's do two situations. Situation 1 the original from the OP, Situation 2 where there's no theft. Let's assume the shop owner is selling Xbox controllers.

Let's also assume the store owner has $200 in cash to start with.

He stocks his store with one xbox controller that costs him $60 to buy. He's going to sell it at exactly $60 because, like you, he is retarded.

He has $140 in cash now, $60 worth of inventory, agreed? Ok.

Situation 1

Guy comes in and steals $100 dollars. Owner now has $40 in cash, $60 in inventory.

Thief comes back into the store and buys the Xbox controller for $60 dollars, gives $100 in cash to the owner.

Owner takes the cash and now has $140 in cash. Gives back $40 in change and now has $100 in cash. Owner hands over the Xbox controller.

Before the day is done, he buys another controller to re-stock and now has $40 in cash ($100 minus the $60 it cost to re-up), $60 in inventory.

Situation 2

Owner starts the day with $140 in cash and $60 worth of inventory, and no cash is stolen.

Guy comes in pays for a controller w/ a $100 bill. Owner hands over the controller and $40 in change. Owner now has $200 in cash ($240 before giving back change, $200 after) and $0 in inventory.

Owner is about to end the day with $200 in cash but no inventory to sell the next day, so he buys another Xbox controller to restock and ends the day with $140 in cash, $60 in inventory.

The only thing that changed between the two situations was the guy stealing the $100, and look, there's a $100 difference in the cash the owner has at the end of the two situations.
