So the retailer must add an additional amount called mark up to the cost if the good
Mark up • Mark up = gross profit/gross margin – retail price + cost price • R = C + M • Where, R is retail price • Where, C is cost price • Where, M is mark up
Markup percentage • Mark up express as in percentage. It can be • (a) mark up per cent based on retail price = %Mr • %Mr = M / R * 100% • (b ) mark up per cent based on cost price = %Mc • %Mc = M / C * 100%
Markup down • Sale at lower price or lower cost price
Mark down • Difference between the old retail price – new retail price. • Where MD = OP – NP • Mark down percentage =%MD = MD /OP * 100%
Profit & Loss • In reality, not all business make money. • A business incurred operating expenses, such as rent, lighting, wages, commissions, bonus and other expenses. • The mark up must be able to cover the operating expenses. • If M > OE - net profit • If M < OE – loss • If M = OE – break even ( BEP = C + OE)
