Best Answer

it manufactures or buys in large quantities and a low price and sells at a much larger price. The selling price is governed by the material cost, labour costs, etc these are classed as "on costs". Once this base line figure is ascertained a second figure which is a percentage higher than the first is used to generate the profit the difference between the 2 is called the profit margin.
