BACHELOR OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

Detailed explanation-1: -For example, if a product costs $100, the selling price with a 25% markup would be $125: Gross Profit Margin = Sales Price – Unit Cost = $125 – $100 = $25. Markup Percentage = Gross Profit Margin/Unit Cost = $25/$100 = 25%. Sales Price = Cost X Markup Percentage + Cost = $100 X 25% + $100 = $125.

Detailed explanation-2: -How much is a 25% markup? A 25% markup means that the price of an item to be sold to a customer is 25% higher than the cost to the seller. An item priced at $30 with a 25% markup means the cost to the seller was $24.

Detailed explanation-3: -Simply take the sales price minus the unit cost, and divide that number by the unit cost. Then, multiply by 100 to determine the markup percentage. For example, if your product costs $50 to make and the selling price is $75, then the markup percentage would be 50%: ( $75 – $50) / $50 = .50 x 100 = 50%.

Detailed explanation-4: -Divide the gross profit by the cost and multiply by 100 to calculate your percentage markup. In the example, divide $75 by $100 which equals $0.75, and multiply by 100 to give you 75 percent. Your markup on cost price is 75 percent.
