# Retail merchandising internships: buying, planning and allocation

## Decide whether a store transfer deserves approval

Fictional case. Four weeks of sales; no receipts, returns or losses after the initial delivery.

### Two stores, one product before a proposed transfer

| Measure | Store A | Store B |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Initial units | 100 | 100 |
| Units sold | 80 | 20 |
| Current units | 20 | 80 |
| Observed weekly sales | 20 | 5 |

## Your turn

Calculate sell-through and weeks of supply before and after moving 30 units from B to A. With $45 transfer cost and $9 contribution per truly incremental sale, calculate the break-even number of incremental sales.

## Your answer

[Write your approach here.]

## For your own application

Add a variant-level table to your own fictional allocation sample and reconcile the combined stock total.
