There is a simpler way to do markup based on margin percentage. Use =A/(1-B). A is your cost and B is the profit margin. So a completed formula would be =15/(1-15%), which makes your answer 17.65.
This really helped me understand the concept very well as you're giving practical examples thank you for explaining it in excel format , kindly share tips to work efficiently with excel too.. Your explanation made these concepts very interesting n easy Your presentation tips are great God bless you ,Spread the knowledge once again this helped a lot
I have ineterview as a business financial analyst after4 days. I am data scientist. I dont know about financial data. I have watched your video about accouting crash coursu. What shoud i learn now to increase my chance
Preparing for interview really depends on the job description and the organization. However, I would recommend you review all the videos (specially related to income statement analysis and working capital management) in the FP&A checklist here: ruclips.net/p/PLcRqJFBzcNZWuJmu96M_SFbUIHAJ2aLZu. In addition, learn a little about financial ratios, what they mean and how are they calculated? You should also learn a little about Capex or investment analysis (NPV, payback, IRR etc). Highlight your strengths and stay positive. If they selected you for interview, they probably liked what they saw on your resume. Make sure you can give examples of experience mentioned on resume. All the best!
I have a question. What if you’re running a produce dept in a grocery store. I want to make a chart that calculates selling price based off margin and cost. However, a case of apples is measured by each apple that comes in that caae. For example, I get a case of honeycrisp apples for $97 and there’s 72 in there. I would like to know how to calculate the selling price at the margin I want. My costs change every week. I would like to just be able to go through and change the cost price every week so I can audit my price at the correct margin. So can you create a video on this?
@couragemutobaya8706 if I understand correctly, the video already shows how to do that. You can change the cost in the calculation, and set the target margin %, and it should do the calculation for you. May be I am not understanding the question correctly. Can you give an example of the situation you are facing? Thanks
Why it doesn't work if the margin is over than 100%, for example for margin 150%, can you help to calculate the Target MarkUp? The result will be in negative number, thanks
Good question. Margin is Profit divided by selling price. It can only be above 100% if profit is more than selling price. Profit can only be more than selling price if costs are negative (which is not usually the case). However, if you input negative costs, the calculation will still work. Generally speaking, the profit margin is never 100% or more, unless you are dealing with a special case? Please share. On the same note, exactly 100% margin would mean the cost is zero. In that case the calculation will give a Division by zero error, but if the costs are zero, and there is only money received for sale, then no calculation is really required, because its not profit, its just free money received.
if Cost price is 100 INR and margin is 15% and Commission Referral Fee 17% GST on Referral Fee 18% and Closing Fee 25 INR and GST on Closing Fee 18% Shipping 80 INR, Return 48 INR what will be the selling price. If can possible so please explain with formula.
hahaha! .. thats an interesting question. But the math still works. The Profit margin will never be 100% unless the cost is zero. Give it a try. No matter how low the cost is and how high the selling price, the profit margin will be less than 100%. It can be 99.999....% but not 100%. This is because 100% profit margin means selling price = Profit. If the cost is zero, then you are not calculating profit at all because profit is Selling price minus cost, and in this case you have no cost. hence no conversion from margin to markup required. By the way, the formula is Markup % = Margin % / (1 - Margin %).
@@LearnAccountingFinance I'm working on an app in which the user can enter the cost and the profit margin and then I have to calculate the Price and the issue is if the user writes 100% Profit Margin then the calculation gives me the infinite result. I need to resolve that. I'm using the formula price = cost / (1 - ProfitMargin%)
If $15 is our cost and we are looking to make 15% profit, we can consider that $15 is 85% of the targeted price. So we divide $15/85, to find 1% of the targeted price, then we multiply it by 100%. There you have it. Simple

What happened if I ignore the margin and mark-up term. i just add item cost plus the profit i wana to get to be product selling price
No problem in doing that. If you know exactly the profit you want to add to the cost, then you don't need all the calculation.

If we purchase an item for 28 pounds.. what would the selling price be with a 56% margin?
63.64
But what if the Profit Margin is 100% then the markup will become infinite (cost/(1-Profilt%)) = cost/(1-100%) = cost/(1-1) = cost/0
hahaha! .. thats an interesting question.

Its up to you. You can add an error message when a user enters 100% saying margin % should be a number less than 100%.
Cost/(1-margin)
Selling Price = Cost/1-GM
If $15 is our cost and we are looking to make 15% profit, we can consider that $15 is 85% of the targeted price. So we divide $15/85, to find 1% of the targeted price, then we multiply it by 100%. There you have it. Simple
