  1. A beauty boutique owner wants to determine the optimal quantity to reorder for a best-selling moisturizer. Which formula should they use?

    Answer: Economic Order Quantity (EOQ)

  2. Which visual merchandising technique is most effective for increasing impulse purchases of beauty accessories at the checkout counter?

    Answer: Placing small, affordable add-on items in attractive point-of-purchase displays

    Small, affordable items in eye-catching displays near checkout encourage impulse buys because customers can add them without significant deliberation.

  3. What does GMROI (Gross Margin Return on Investment) measure in a beauty retail context?

    Answer: How much gross profit is earned for every dollar invested in inventory

    GMROI evaluates how effectively inventory investment generates gross profit, helping retailers identify their most profitable product categories.

  4. A beauty store receives a shipment where 15% of products arrive damaged. What should the owner do FIRST?

    Answer: Document the damage and file a claim with the supplier before accepting the full shipment

    Documenting damage immediately and filing a supplier claim protects the business financially and establishes a record for future disputes.

  5. Which inventory counting method assigns the cost of the most recently purchased beauty products to the cost of goods sold first?

    Answer: Last-In, First-Out (LIFO)

    LIFO assumes the newest inventory items are sold first, which can be advantageous for tax purposes during periods of rising costs.

  6. A beauty retailer wants to expand their product line but has limited shelf space. Which analytical tool best helps decide which new products to add?

    Answer: Sales per square foot analysis combined with category performance review

    Sales per square foot analysis identifies underperforming shelf areas that could be reallocated to higher-potential new products.
