    While going through consolidation questions am finding it quit hard to differentiate between markup and margin, when it comes to intercompany trading.

    Sing this little mantra to yourself:

    Mark up is “on” cost

    Margin is “on” sales

    And whatever it’s “on” is 100

    Take it from there

    And remember that “gross profit” and “gross margin” are alternative ways of referring to “margin”

    Ok?
