Gross Margin =
Gross Profit
Revenue
! Gross profit and revenue figures are obtained from the income
Example 1
For the month ended March 31, 2011, Company X
earned revenue of $744,200 by selling goods costing
$503,890. Calculate the gross margin ratio of the
company.
Solution
Gross margin ratio = ( $744,200 $503,890 ) /
$744,200 0.32 or 32%
Example 2
Calculate gross margin ratio of a company whose cost
of goods sold and gross profit for the period are
$8,754,000 and $2,423,000 respectively.
Solution
Since the revenue figure is not provided, we need to
calculate it first:
Revenue = Gross Profit + Cost of Goods Sold
Revenue = $8,754,000 + $2,423,000
Revenue = $11,177,000
Gross Margin Ratio = $2,423,000 / $11,177,000 0.22 or 22%
Mark up Formula
Profit x 100%
Cost Price
1
An item costing RM40 is sold for RM55. Calculate the

RM15 x 100 %
RM40 1
= 37.5%
Margin Formula
Profit x 100 %
Selling Price 1
Cost price RM40 and the selling price is RM50.
Calculate the profit margin.
RM10 x 100 %
RM50
