Respuesta :

To find Macy's percentage of cost mark up:

First; we need to find the Gross Profit Margin
Gross profit margin = sales price - unit cost
Gross profit margin = $30 - $14 
Gross profit margin = $16

Then; we will find the mark up percentage:
Markup percentage = gross profit margin/unit cost
Markup percentage = ($16/$14)(100) = 114.29%
