{"product_id":"9781563672958","title":"Perry's Department Store: A Buying Simulation for Juniors, Men's Wear, Children's Wear, and Home Fashion\/Giftware","description":"This revised edition bridges the gap between the principles of retail buying and merchandising mathematics and the actual application of these concepts.  The book simulates the experience of a new buyer in a fictitious store and provides instructions for researching the markets and rend.  Students can choose to be a buyer for men's wear, juniors, children's wear, or home fashion\/giftware.  They determine the customer profile, project sales, and beginning of the month stock requirements and markdowns to complete a six-month dollar plan.  The simulation prepares students for a trip to the market, including setting up appointments, visiting a buying office, and writing actual purchase orders. Perry's Department Store also includes a CD-ROM that students can use as a computer workbook to complete the simulation.  It contains industry statistics; forms; and a manufacturer's line list or catalog for men's wear, juniors, children's wear, and home fashion\/giftware.  Most of the forms are Excel documents with embedded formulas, allowing students to plug in their own figures.","brand":"Fairchild Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47017852141808,"sku":"9781563672958","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781563672958_p0.jpg?v=1763786754","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781563672958","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
