Target Margin and Markup Price Review

Compare illustrative prices for a stated margin target versus a markup target. Preparation only, not an account action.

What to provide

Cost, target percentage, target definition, excluded taxes/fees and reviewer policy.

How it works

1. Require target to name margin or markup.
2. For illustrative markup use cost*(1+rate); for margin use cost/(1-rate).
3. Hold margin targets at or above100% and unknown cost scope.
4. Return alternatives, not an approved quote or market price.

The output

cost | target_rate | target_basis | illustrative_price | excluded_costs | hold

Worked fictional example

Fictional cost 80 and 25% target gives 100 for markup or 106.6667 before rounding for margin. Unknown target basis blocks a final quote; different prices are not an arithmetic error.
