Item                                                                                                                            Total Retail                Total Cost                IMU

Beer                                                                                         $200,000.$80,000.

T-shirts                                                                            30,000                             9,000

Vandal Burgers                                                    60,000                           45,000

What is the IMU for each line?

What is the estimated, total cumulative MU for the bar?

Suppose you want to raise the cummulative MU but you don’t think you can raise prices, and you are already getting the best prices possible from your vendors. Is there any way you can still raise your cumulative MU?
