    Hello Sir.

    Can you please help me clarify this point.

    I have a question about proft mark-up and margin.

    If a company uses profit MARK-UP to calculate selling price, how we calculate selling price??? by adding mark-up % to total production cost or by adding mark-up % to total cost (which includes non-production overheads as well).

    If a company uses profit MARGIN to calculate selling price, how we calculate selling price??? by adding margin % to total production cost or by adding margin % to total cost (which includes non-production overheads as well).
    Thank you vey much.

    Mark-up is profit calculated as a % of cost. Margin is profit calculated as a % of selling price.

    As far as cost is concerned, it is production cost (unless, obviously, the question says otherwise).
