Example: OverheadExample: OverheadYour total overhead expenses are 15%
of total gross sales of $1 million dollars. If you have an item that costs $1000 and sells for $1333:◦ What is your overhead percentage?
15%◦ What is the overhead amount on that one
item? $1333 X .15 =
◦ What is the Markup amount on this item? $1333 – 1000 =
$333
$199.95
Overhead ExpensesOverhead ExpensesNet Profit/Loss = subtracting your overhead
expenses from your revenue (markup)Profit: you made more money than you
spent◦ When your Markup > Overhead expense
Loss: You spent more than you made◦ If Markup < Overhead expense
Example: Do we have Net Profit or Net Loss?◦ Markup = $333 and Overhead = $199.95◦ What is the amount of our Net Profit? Net
Profit
Formula for Net ProfitFormula for Net ProfitThree Step Formula:Markup = Retail Price – Cost Overhead = Overhead % * Retail PriceNet Profit = Markup – Overhead

ExampleExampleBob’s Sport Shop purchases 15-
foot rowboats for $44.98 each. Bob sells the boats for $89.99 each. Bob estimates his overhead expenses to be 40% of the retail price of his merchandise. What is the net profit on each 15-foot rowboat?

Price40% of retail priceOverhead = .40 * 89.99Overhead = 35.996Overhead = $36.00$36 is spent to cover any expense the
business incursNet Profit = Markup – OverheadNet Profit = 45.01 - 36Net Profit = $9.01
Calculate Cost Based on Retail Calculate Cost Based on Retail PricePrice
You may need to decide your product’s cost based on the retail price
◦ Add a new product that your competitors sell and sell it for less, still making a profit

Cost Based on Retail PriceCost Based on Retail PriceEx: Your competition sells their bag for
$95. You want to sell one for $90 to be competitive but still maintain a 40% Markup. What is the cost you can pay to meet this goal?

cost Or
◦ $90 X .60 = $54
