Answer 1

11%

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation to determine the markup percentage as a percentage of cost for Timothy Company

First step is to calculate the Sales revenue

Sales revenue = 1,500 units × $1,000

Sales revenue = $1,500,000

Now let calculate the Markup percentage

Markup percentage = $150,000 / ($1,500,000 - $150,000)

Markup percentage = $150,000/1,350,000

Markup percentage= 11%

Therefore Markup percentage is 11%
