A manufacturer makes a product for $6 and adds a 25% profit on selling price. They sell to a wholesaler who sells it for 50% markup based on manufacturer selling price. The retailer marks it up by 25% on consumer purchase price and sells the product to the consumer. What is the total $ markup in going from manufacturer's cost to consumer purchase price, i.e., the 5 difference between the two? -$8 -$6 -$10 -$5 -$2

Respuesta :

The total markup from manufacturer's cost to consumer purchase price is $8.06 (A).

Markup is a pricing strategy by adding some percent of price to earn profit from the different between the purchasing or production cost with the selling price of a product.

From the case, we know that the manufacturer production cost is $6 per unit. The manufacturer then changed 25% profit to determine the product selling price. The manufacturing selling price is:

Manufacturing selling price = Production cost + (% profit x production  cost)

Manufacturing selling price = $6 + (25% x $6)

Manufacturing selling price = $7.50

The wholesaler who purchased the product from the manufacturer will add 50% to its purchasing cost. The wholesaler selling price is:

Wholesaler selling price = purchasing cost + (% profit x purchasing cost)

Wholesaler selling price = $7.50 + (50% x $7.50)

Wholesaler selling price = $11.25

The retailer then purchased the product from the wholesaler and add another 25% to charge the product before selling it to the consumers. The retailer selling price is;

Retailer selling price = purchasing cost + (% profit x purchasing cost)

Retailer selling price = $11.25 + (25% x $11.25)

Retailer selling price = $14.06

The total markup in the product price from its production cost up to its retailer selling price is:

Total markup = Retailer selling price - Production cost

Total markup = $14.06 - $6.00

Total markup = $8.06
