Using the procedures above, the subtotal is calculated and stated to the second decimal point on the video screen, i. The sales tax is applied to this subtotal. Because many sales taxes rates are expressed to the fourth decimal point, the application of the pertinent tax rate to the subtotal may once again need to be rounded to the second decimal point, i.

They would also eliminate coupons, and only have 12 sales a year instead of It was a radical change of direction, not just for —year old JC Penney, but for any major discount retailer.
The commercial ended with the words, "No games, just great prices. That's fair and square. JC Penney. While there were many reasons why Johnson's new plan didn't succeed, it did reveal some truisms about retail pricing.
By removing the context for low prices, shoppers didn't know how to evaluate the new price tags. Put another way, by removing the original price and not showing the markdown price, shoppers couldn't determine whether the "everyday low price" was a good value. As Time Magazine noted, it also showed how irrational shoppers can be.
Within one year under Johnson's new plan, JC Penney sales fell 28 per cent. Revenues even dropped 40 per cent during the critically important Christmas shopping season.
