I have all my costs (item, freight, storage, handeling, overhead) I want to
calculate profit as a % of the sales price. e.g. all my costs add up to $8.00
and I wan to make a 10% profit, what is my sales price? What formula do I use
to calculate this?
 
this is where we have the discussion regarding MARGIN and MARKUP
They are not the same.
8/.9 is a 10%margin ( ten percent discount arrives back at the cost)
8*1.1 is a 10% markup...not the same as above
