Food Sales Calculator Spreadsheet (Output)

Contents Show

The Food Sales Calculator Spreadsheet (Output) is displayed when the user selects the Food Sales Calculator Spreadsheet list item from the Reports data grid in the Generate Reports screen.

A few excerpts were copied nearly verbatim from Vendor Cost Containment documentation to describe the purpose and use of this spreadsheet:

This EXCEL spreadsheet provides the format necessary to estimate food stamp program eligible food sales using vendor's annual gross sales and to identify above-50-percent vendors. All vendors that are currently active is included in the spreadsheet. It is expected that this is used as a worksheet and will need to be adjusted to show only the pertinent vendors and formatted for final printing. The store type legend lines and footnotes is printed at the end of the worksheet page after all vendor lines are printed.

The system will provide these vendor detail values:

The calculator will compute an estimated food sales amount (column-F) and the maximum amount of WIC redemptions the vendor can have (column-G) in order to be classified as a regular vendor.

The calculator will compare the amount in column-G to the amount in column-H. If the amount in column-H exceeds that in column-G, then a "Y" will appear in column-I indicating that the vendor is an above-50% vendor.

The food sales calculator will compute the estimated FSP-eligible food sales when the annual gross sales amount is entered in to the calculator. The State agency must settle on the scenario and methodology before completing the form. The State agency must consider the store type.

In scenario 2, the steps to take to identify above 50-percent vendors when a vendor provides a food sales amount that includes items other than FSP eligible foods. The food sales share (column-E) was computed by Economic Research Service Staff, USDA, using retail trade data from the Economic Census, adjusted to exclude foods that are not FSP-eligible. The census is conducted every 5 years. The estimated food share varies from 94.7% for specialized food stores to 4.8% for pharmacies. State agencies should work with military commissaries to obtain the required food sales data.

In scenario 3, WIC vendors are required to report gross receipts or sales to the Internal Revenue Service on line 1a of various federal tax forms (e.g., Form 1065 (for partnerships); Form 1040, schedule C (for sole proprietorships); Form 1120 (for corporations)). Businesses also report annual gross sales to State tax and revenue agencies, even if the State does not impose sales tax on food. Thus it is reasonable to expect vendors to be able to provide Sate agencies with a documented annual gross sales amount, even if they report that they are unable to provide a distinct food sales amount.

In scenario 4, in rare instances vendors may not have written documentation of a store's annual gross sales amount due to some extraordinary occurrence or circumstance (such as a fire or natural disaster). In such instances, a State agency may allow a vendor to make a written self-declaration of the store's annual gross sales. The self-declaration should be made on a form developed by the State agency. It should include the self-declared gross sales amount, the period to which the gross sales amount applies (e.g., January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2005), the reason why the vendor is unable to provide either the documented food sales or gross sales amount, and the signature of the store owner or authorized representative.
