Best Answer

If you buy something for £1 and sell it for £3, then you've made 200% profit.

Edit

It is impossible to have 200% profit margin

It's also impossible to have a 100% profit margin

You can have a 200% MARKUP

But profit margin formula is 1 - (1 / (1 + (Markup))

So example

lets say you buy something for £1 and sell it for £3 then your markup 200% or £2

Your profit margin = 1-(1/1+(£2))

Profit margin = 67%

What is the difference in gross profit and net profit?

GROSS PROFIT Gross Profit is the difference between Net Sales and Cost of Goods Sold. First, Net Sales is calculated by subtracting Sales returns and allowances from Sales. Sales - Sales Returns and Allowances = Net Sales Next, Gross Profit is calculated by subtracting Cost of Goods Sold from Net Sales. Net Sales - Cost of Goods Sold = Gross Profit Gross Profit is expressed as a dollar figure, like $100. If Cost of Goods Sold exceeds Net Sales, Gross Profit figure will be negative. PROFIT MARGIN Profit Margin is not a dollar figure. Profit Margin shows the percentage of each sales dollar that results in net income. First, Net Income is calculated by subtracting Operating Expenses from Gross Profit. Gross Profit - Operating Expenses = Net Income Next, the Profit Margin ratio is constructed, and the result is expressed as percentage. Net Income : Net Sales = Profit Margin For example, assume that Net Income equals $10,000 on Net Sales of $100,000. In this case Profit Margin equals $10,000 : $100,000 = 0.10 = 10%. GROSS PROFIT MARGIN Terms "Gross margin" and "Gross profit margin" have been invented by some enterprising accounting students. These terms are part of accounting jargon in some colleges. The meaning of those terms is very liberal, - it means whatever one wants it to mean. For example, "Gross Profit" may mean either Gross Profit or Profit Margin. Most likely, it means that the speaker does not know the meaning of either one of the terms. But "Gross Profit Margin" surely takes the cake. It's just a mouthful piece.

What is the profit margin on a Rolex?

Dealers list price onwatches 50% gross margin - 100% markup. The profit margin on the selling price to the dealer is not reported but if you look at a $7000 watch at retail that the dealer buys for $3500, the cost of materials is rather low. They've been making these watches for a long time so it is difficult to believe the manufacturing cost would be more than $700. That would give Rolex an 80% GPM on their resale to the dealer.
