I thought I would share a simple scaling price markup tool, in which I hunted several threads and couldn't find what I was looking for. None of this is rocket science, but I think those of you that need a tool to determine how much something should be sold for based on a sliding margin scale. I needed something that could handle very low cost items that have large margins, to items that are fairly expensive and require a much lower margin.
I'm not an Excel guru by any means, and would love to expand on what this does. I am looking for someone that knows more about Excel to take what I have done here and provide the following if possible:
Take the workbook (attached), along with it's calculations and give me a single cell (Purchase Price) that I could type in any price (up to $10,000). Then, whatever is typed in that field would need to utilize the margin percentage (Column C in the attached spreadsheet) and automatically calculate the Selling Price and Profit and report that. This way, I could simply type in a single cell, and the it would tell me selling price and profit automatically. This can then be used for sales departments to determine a minimum, or expected price and profit on any item without constantly going to a manager for approval.
Example:
Purchase Price Selling Price Profit $1.00 $5.00 $4.00
Any assistance would be much appreciated!
