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.May 22, 2018 at 9:36 am #453315Mark-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).
