Profit margin is profit expressed as a percentage of the selling price (Profit ÷ Selling Price × 100), whereas markup is profit expressed as a percentage of the cost price (Profit ÷ Cost Price × 100). For example, a 50% markup yields a 33.33% profit margin.
Break-Even Point in units equals Total Fixed Costs divided by Contribution Margin per Unit (Selling Price per Unit minus Variable Cost per Unit). At this volume, total revenue equals total costs and net profit is zero.
ROI is calculated as: [(Net Gain from Investment - Cost of Investment) ÷ Cost of Investment] × 100. It measures the financial efficiency and profitability of a capital outlay relative to its initial expense.
GST is a destination-based consumption tax collected on behalf of the government and does not constitute company revenue. Marking up inclusive of GST distorts unit contribution margins and can cause statutory compliance discrepancies.
