1A merchant in Niamey purchases commercial goods for 80,000 FCFA excluding taxes and sells them to a customer for 100,000 FCFA excluding taxes. What is the commercial margin realized on this sale?
A.20,000 FCFA
B.80,000 FCFA
C.20% (the margin rate)
D.25% (the markup rate)
Explanation: The commercial margin (marge commerciale) is defined as the selling price excluding taxes (PVHT) minus the purchase cost of goods sold (coût d'achat des marchandises vendues). Here, Commercial Margin = 100,000 FCFA - 80,000 FCFA = 20,000 FCFA.
2A retailer purchases an article for 50,000 FCFA excluding taxes and sets the selling price at 65,000 FCFA excluding taxes. What is the markup rate (taux de marge)?
A.30.00%
B.130.00%
C.23.08%
D.15.00%
Explanation: The markup rate (taux de marge) expresses the commercial margin as a percentage of the purchase cost: (Commercial Margin / Purchase Cost) * 100. Here, the commercial margin is 65,000 - 50,000 = 15,000 FCFA, so the markup rate is (15,000 / 50,000) * 100 = 30.00%.
3An enterprise sells merchandise for 200,000 FCFA excluding taxes. The purchase cost of this merchandise was 150,000 FCFA. What is the margin rate (taux de marque)?
A.28.57%
B.25.00%
C.33.33%
D.75.00%
Explanation: The margin rate (taux de marque) expresses the commercial margin as a percentage of the selling price excluding taxes: (Commercial Margin / Selling Price HT) * 100. The commercial margin is 200,000 - 150,000 = 50,000 FCFA. Thus, (50,000 / 200,000) * 100 = 25.00%.
4Under the tax regulations of Niger, the standard value-added tax (TVA) rate is 19%. If an invoice shows a selling price excluding taxes (PVHT) of 50,000 FCFA, what is the selling price inclusive of tax (PVTTC)?
A.40,500 FCFA
B.60,000 FCFA
C.59,000 FCFA
D.59,500 FCFA
Explanation: Niger's normal TVA rate is 19% (CGI, art. 226). The tax is 50,000 × 0.19 = 9,500 FCFA, so the price including tax (PVTTC) is 50,000 + 9,500 = 59,500 FCFA, or directly 50,000 × 1.19.
5Which commercial price reduction is granted specifically to compensate a customer for defective goods, non-conformity with specifications, or delivery delay?
A.Rabais
B.Remise
C.Ristourne
D.Escompte de règlement
Explanation: A rabais is an exceptional commercial allowance granted after delivery to compensate for a defect in the goods, an error in specifications, or a delivery delay. In contrast, a remise is based on customer status or order volume, a ristourne is based on cumulative turnover over a period, and an escompte is a financial discount for early payment.
6A wholesaler in Maradi purchases goods with a net purchase price of 120,000 FCFA. Direct purchasing expenses include customs duties of 18,000 FCFA and transport freight of 12,000 FCFA. What is the total purchase cost (coût d'achat)?
A.120,000 FCFA
B.138,000 FCFA
C.132,000 FCFA
D.150,000 FCFA
Explanation: The purchase cost (coût d'achat) comprises the net purchase price plus all direct accessory purchasing costs (frais accessoires d'achat such as freight, transit, and non-recoverable customs duties). Here, Coût d'achat = 120,000 + 18,000 + 12,000 = 150,000 FCFA.
7In commercial marketing, what does the psychological price (prix psychologique or prix d'acceptabilité) represent?
A.The price charged by the leading competitor in the target market
B.The price obtained by applying a legal maximum markup authorized by the ministry of commerce
C.The minimum price below which the firm incurs an operating loss
D.The price point that maximizes the percentage of potential consumers willing to buy the product
Explanation: The psychological price (prix psychologique) is determined through customer surveys assessing the price threshold of excessive cost (prix trop cher) and insufficient quality (qualité insuffisante). The optimal psychological price maximizes customer acceptability (taux d'acceptabilité = 100% - [% too expensive + % poor quality]).
8A store in Zinder purchases kitchen equipment for 40,000 FCFA excluding taxes. The store management applies a margin rate (taux de marque) of 20%. Given the standard Niger TVA rate of 19%, what is the multiplier coefficient (coefficient multiplicateur) applied to the purchase cost to determine the final selling price TTC?
A.1.4750
B.1.2500
C.1.4875
D.1.4280
Explanation: With a margin rate (taux de marque) tm of 20%, PVHT = Purchase Cost / (1 - tm) = Purchase Cost / 0.80. Then PVTTC = PVHT * (1 + TVA) = Purchase Cost * (1.19 / 0.80). Thus, the multiplier coefficient is 1.19 / 0.80 = 1.4875. Multiplying 40,000 * 1.4875 gives PVTTC = 59,500 FCFA.
9A commercial distributor purchases an appliance for 36,000 FCFA excluding taxes. Management mandates a margin rate (taux de marque) of 25%. What is the selling price excluding taxes (PVHT)?
A.45,000 FCFA
B.48,000 FCFA
C.42,857 FCFA
D.27,000 FCFA
Explanation: The margin rate is calculated on the selling price: Taux de marque = Margin / PVHT = (PVHT - Purchase Cost) / PVHT. Rearranging gives PVHT = Purchase Cost / (1 - Taux de marque). Here, PVHT = 36,000 / (1 - 0.25) = 36,000 / 0.75 = 48,000 FCFA.
10If a boutique applies a markup rate (taux de marge) of 25% on its purchased goods, what is the corresponding margin rate (taux de marque)?
A.33.33%
B.75.00%
C.25.00%
D.20.00%
Explanation: The relationship between markup rate (t_marge) and margin rate (t_marque) is t_marque = t_marge / (1 + t_marge). For a markup rate of 25% (0.25), t_marque = 0.25 / (1 + 0.25) = 0.25 / 1.25 = 0.20, or 20.00%.

Bac G3 Niger: Suggested Study Strategy

1Master the links between purchase cost, selling price, taux de marge and taux de marque: margin = PV HT − coût d'achat HT; taux de marque = margin / PV HT; taux de marge = margin / coût d'achat HT.
2Practise a full-cost case end to end: complete the tableau de répartition, compute the unit-of-work costs, value stock at CUMP, then work out the purchase cost, production cost, cost price and analytical result.
3Fit trend lines both by the double-moyenne (Mayer) method used in the 2020 paper and by least squares, then use the equation to forecast monthly and annual sales.
4Learn the definitions of canal and circuit de distribution, the types of channels, and the causes and remedies of conflicts between producers and intermediaries.
5Review computer tools: hardware versus software, which applications handle tables and charts, and how absolute references such as $B$1 behave when a formula is copied.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Niger Bac G3 a multiple-choice examination?

No. The official Technique commerciale paper sets two written cases with calculations and short answers in French, alongside mathematics and general education papers. This bank is an independent English-language MCQ study adaptation.

What is the difference between taux de marge and taux de marque?

The taux de marge expresses the commercial margin as a percentage of the purchase cost (coût d'achat HT), whereas the taux de marque expresses it as a percentage of the pre-tax selling price (prix de vente HT).

How does Niger's VAT rate affect commercial pricing calculations?

Niger's normal TVA rate is 19% (CGI, art. 226). To go from the pre-tax selling price to the price including tax, multiply by 1.19, so the multiplier coefficient on purchase cost is 1.19 divided by (1 − taux de marque).
