A retailer's cost and selling price for a bag of rice are N10,000 and N14,000 respectively.

What is the company's mark-up on cost?

  • A 28.6%
  • B 35%
  • C 40%
  • D 71.4%

The correct answer is C. 40%

The company’s mark-up on cost is calculated by subtracting the cost from the selling price, dividing by the cost, and then multiplying by 100 to get a percentage.

So, the mark-up on cost is ((N14,000 - N10,000) / N10,000) * 100 = 40%.

Therefore, the company’s mark-up on cost is C. 40%.
