The cost of an apple

That's why I specifically said MARKUP. You guys all read the question, and the only guy that was brave enough to answer got it wrong.

He got it right.
Markup -> FC = DC * ( Markup + 1 ) = 2 * ( 0.2 + 1 ) = 2.4
Margin -> FC = DC / ( 1 - Margin) = 2 / ( 1 - 0.2 ) = 2.5

Double reverse reverse reflected fail. Like I said, you'd be surprised how many people fail to answer a simple question like the one I asked. Way to fail.

If you mark something up 20%, you mark it up 20%. I'm not sure what you're looking for, but 20% of $2.00 is $0.40. Add the $0.40 (20% markup) to your cost ($2.00) and you get $2.40.

I think maybe your looking for margin, otherwise, it's not really a trick question as you intended.

Please explain otherwise.

But we aren't looking for profit? You want what the retail price is. The only value we have is how much you're marking up and how much you bought it for.
