Am I correct to believe that a markup is the selling price minus cost?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, markup is the additional cost over all input costs.

OpenStudy (lstrasmann):

no, that is the profit. markup is the selling price plus the markup amount or percent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Markup = sale price - cost (as I said above), which creates a profit.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would that be selling priceplus cost , selling price divided by cost, selling price minus cost or selling price x (1 + cost).

OpenStudy (lstrasmann):

oh, you're right..

OpenStudy (lstrasmann):

selling price minus cost
