You run a shop and someone steals $100

[Jay Kast]

100.

He steals 100 dollars, you are in the hole -100.

He uses the same 100 dollars in exchange for 60 dollars WORTH of items. You really lose nothing at this juncture because he gives the 100 back, you keep 60, give him 40 dollars plus the merchandise. So now you have the 100 dollar bill, minus 60 dollars worth of merchandise and 40 dollars in change, -100 dollars.

The store is out a total of 100 dollars, regardless of what he buys, what the shopkeeper exchanges, gives change back, blah blah blah.. because he is using the SAME 100 dollars.

Imma say $40.

If he came in and stole $100 in 20s the store register is -$100
He comes back in and gives $60 for the merchandise. He keeps the other $40 in his pocket.
The store now has $60 back in the register, but it's still down $40, because it's in the thief's pocket.

The giving change thing throws shyt off, but if he didn't have to give change, the numbers seem to work out that the store owner will realize a $40 loss when he's counting the drawer at the end of the day.

People aren't saying he broke even with 100. They are saying he ended with net -100 instead of -200

people are thinking like

nah mufukka that $100 was mine in the first place, you gave me that back but it doesn't count, it's tainted

on top of that i gave your ass this $60 in merch and $40 in change

that's $200

 

[GrindtooFilthy]

$200

because he stole $100 cash from the store then came back and bought took $60 of goods and got $40 in change from the store . In total the store lost $100 cash (the first time) and another $60 in goods and $40 in cash (second time). Therefore, the shop keeper lost $200

at these responses.

The 'American' Education system y'all

you talking that hot shyt son , you and everybody else who dapped your post lost:hahamj:

Because it's money

and that's what you do in accounting

No... You pay the 40 from the 100 he stole from you that was originally yours. The situation is equivalent to if somebody jacked 40 from the register and also stole a 60 dollar game.

And actually in accounting they only add up the explicit costs, so your answer would be wrong regardless. An accountant wouldn't account for the 60 you could have gotten but didn't, just the amount you paid to stock the merch.

 

[Zach Lowe]

you lost $100 in total

this nikka took 100

with that 100 he buys 60 dollars worth of shyt and on top of that got back $40 in change

nikka did some kind runescape scam exchange on your ass, he gave you back the shyt he stole in exchange for stealing some other shyt of the same value

not same value really
assuming everything in the store sells at a profit you'd rather lose $60 in product (that's you paid like $30 to the supplier for) than $60 cash

op said not to be pedantic about this thing just assume the merch lost was a clean $60, if we being real he probably lost less than $100

Right... a good way to think this through is what if he had stolen from someone else? If he had taken $100 from Bob's Auto Parts down the road and paid you $60 with that, would Bob lose even more? Nope.

 

[Perfectson]

you lost $100 in total

this nikka took 100

with that 100 he buys 60 dollars worth of shyt and on top of that got back $40 in change

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

exactly, I'd rather someone steal $100 worth of goods

then steal $100 dollars

those goods probably only cost me $50

 

[Zach Lowe]

saying it's $200 loss is logically equivalent to saying that a business loses a dollar for every dollar of sales (no dumbass you WANT to "lose" product that's how you make money, by selling)

and loses a dollar for every dollar of change returned to the customer (no dumbass, giving change is returning money that you don't have a claim to)

 

[TRFG]

saying it's $200 loss is logically equivalent to saying that a business loses a dollar for every dollar of sales ()

and loses a dollar for every dollar of change returned ()

sohh anyone thinking that is retarded af

you're overthinking

 

[Killer Instinct]

I love these coli math threads.

 

[Zach Lowe]

you're overthinking

you say it's a $60 loss cuz you sold $60 of product
and it's a $40 loss cuz u gave change back on the purchase

-60-40-100 = -200
where -100 is for stealing the money in the first place

i guess he never paid you +$100 for the $60 product and $40 of change then?

then how the fukk are you giving him $40 and $60 worth of product? is it for free?

he never paid $100 to you?

or is does -100 + 100 - 40 - 60 equal to -200 in your retarded math?

 

[I AM WARHOL]

These comments

It's $100

 

[Zach Lowe]

one more time for the retards

He stole $100

(we're at -100 now)

you gave him $60 of product and $40 in change

(we're at -200)

wait what are we forgetting

OH RIGHT he PAID $100 to get $60 worth of product and $40 in change
or else why the fukk would we give away $60 in product and $40 change if the customer didn't pay with $100?
the customer isn't stealing $100, then coming back to steal $60 in product and another $40 cash, he's PAYING with the original $100

so -200+100 = -100

this was enough to convince one of you tards i guess the rest of you are slower
