Expert Solution
Step 1

Markup based on selling price:

Markup refers to the difference between the selling price of a good or service and its cost. It is expressed as a percentage above the cost. In other words, it is the added price over the total cost of the good or service that provides the seller with a profit.

Markup Percentage Formula

The formula for calculating markup percentage can be expressed as:

Markup percentage = ( Sales price – unit cost / unit cost)  x 100  

or   Markup = [(Revenue – COGS) / COGS] X 100

or Markup = (Gross Profit / COGS) X 100
