W 100
R  120
GP 20
MU 20 %  ( GP/W )
Gross Profit Margin 16 % ( GP/R )

Nope.

Why did you try to pretend that
margin and markup are the same thing?

Markup is the percentage OF WHOLESALE that is GP.

Margin is the percentage OF RETAIL that is GP.

They are two different ratios.

This would be as if you looked at P= I x E and

E
-------
I x R

And then announced that Watts == Amps.

You could say they are just reworks
of the same numbers, right? LOL

Are you impaired?

Evidently.

You still don't get it. They *ARE* the same numbers, just stirred up. They
mean *exactly* the same thing.

Of the *SAME* NUMBERS. Sheesh.

The independent variables are the *SAME*. Your representation of them is all
that is different.

>Are you impaired?

No, you're just beyond stupid. I think we have a new DimBulb, DimBulb.
