	Markup		2014-03-17
		From Lorriane: I work for a plumbing company and our new financial manager said we should mark up all parts we buy by 142.86 to get a 30% mark up, however if we buy something for $100.00 we charge $130.00 being 30%. If we use the other method the customers will be paying $142.86 for $100.00 and they still say that this is only 30% mark up. We have for years been taught percentages at school and also the Government charges us 15% GST which on $100.00 would be $15.00 so who is correct. Thank you for your wonderful website Lorriane Answered by Chris Fisher and Penny Nom.
