Formula: = (vendor price + shipping contribution + storage fee) / (1-commission)
Example: In this example, we will use a commission of 6% for a Small (S) item, which was in storage for 45 days.
If the amount vendor wants to receive is, GHC 950
Jumia Express (Storage) fee: GHC 0.09
Shipping Contribution fee: GHC 3
Commission: 6% (which converts to 0.06)
=> (950+3+0.09)/(100% – 6%) = 1013.9255 → final price should be rounded up!
=> GHC 1014
