Job Costing

Can you explain the principle of mark-up and margin? I don't fully understand the concept. Thanks

Mark-up is the profit expressed as a % of cost. Margin is the profit expressed as a % of the selling price. They are more relevant for Paper F3, but if you do look at the list of F3 lectures then you will find one on mark-ups and margins which explains both in detail with examples.
