A buyer plans to purchase 120 handbags for a special promotion. The handbags will retail for $39.00 each. She has already placed an order for 82 handbags at $20.00 each. What is the most she can pay for each remaining handbag if she is to achieve the departments markup goal of 68.0%?

The cost has already exceeded to overall goal but what would this indicate to you about the way in which you approached the entire buy?

How this order went off track and what would have needed to happen in order to successfully meet the goals for the order?
