Given: Cost = $80, Markup = 60%
Markup as a Decimal: 60% = 0.6
Formula:
Selling Price = Cost * (1 + Markup as a Decimal)
Selling Price = $80 * (1 + 0.6)
Selling Price = $80 * 1.6
Selling Price = $128
Notes:
Markup Amount = Selling Price – Cost = $128 – $80 = $48
Profit = Markup Amount = $48
Profit Margin =
Markup as a Decimal: 60% = 0.6
Formula:
Selling Price = Cost * (1 + Markup as a Decimal)
Selling Price = $80 * (1 + 0.6)
Selling Price = $80 * 1.6
Selling Price = $128
Notes:
Markup Amount = Selling Price – Cost = $128 – $80 = $48
Profit = Markup Amount = $48
Profit Margin =
Profit/
Selling Price
=
$48/
$128
= 0.375 = 37.5%
