Who is responsible for paying the zakat on the shop: the son who manages it, or the father who funds it? And how are goods appraised for zakat: at their purchase price or their selling price, especially with fluctuating prices and constant demands for discounts?
The shop is subject to zakat if your father is its owner, and it is not obligatory upon you because you do not own it. The zakat on a commercial shop is calculated based on the value of the goods present at the time zakat becomes due, not at the time of purchase or sale.
