    The question always makes it clear which.
    A margin % is a % of selling price, a mark-up % is a % of cost.

    This is explained in our free lectures on target costing (and if you need to revise from F3, then our F3 lectures on mark-ups and margins) – I cannot type out all the lectures here 🙂

    Our free lectures for Paper F5 cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
