Respuesta :

Answer:

110%

Explanation:

Data provided

Desired profit = $20

Total cost = $43

Total variable cost = $30

The calculation of the markup percentage on variable cost is shown below:-

Markup percentage on variable cost = Desired profit + (Total cost - Total variable cost) ÷ Total variable cost × 100

= (($20 + ($43 - $30) ÷ $30) × 100

= (($20 + $13) ÷ $30) × 100

= 110%
