Recently viewed a pricing matrix. What is the markup all about? Is it an extra percentage that you charge in addition to raw materials and how do you arrive at your hourly rate??

The mark up covers your cost, plus trying to make sure you make some money on the cake. Most retailers mark their items up 300%, so what cost them $10 now costs us $30. This is for profit and overhead.

I hope this answers your question. If not, let me know and I'll try again.
