Case study 2: GST
Wonder Sports is a large sports goods retailer. It purchases ‘sweet spot’ tennis
racquets for $110 each from Aussie Tennis Goods, a large manufacturer of
tennis products. Wonder Sports plans to sell the tennis racquets at a 200%
mark-up to its customers. In January last year it purchased 100 racquets.
However, in April, it discovered that 10 of these racquets had design faults and
it returned them to the manufacturer and obtained a full refund.
