Markup, Margin, Break-Even Analysis, and Pricing
- Markup refers to the additional amount of money added to the cost of a product, expressed as a percentage, to cover expenses and make a profit.
- Margin is the percentage of the price charged to customers that is not used to pay for the product, and it includes expenses and profit.
- In a typical retail scenario, a business buys a product from a manufacturer, adds a markup to the cost, and then sells it to a consumer, covering business expenses from the margin and keeping the extra as profit.
- Break-Even Analysis involves determining the number of units that must be sold at a given price to cover all operating costs, considering variable costs, fixed costs, and gross profit.
- Variable costs are costs that change in relation to the quantity of products or services sold, while fixed costs do not change.
- The break-even point is the number of units that must be sold at a given price to cover all operating costs and is calculated by dividing fixed costs by the gross profit.
- A Gross Profit is made with every sale, and it is used to pay for fixed costs.
