Calculate each supplier’s cost for the product/service. [Hint: First find the markup in dollars, then use the formula Price=Cost + Markup to find the supplier’s cost.]

Website a: (Staples) Website b: (Amazon) Website c: (name)
Supplier’s Cost: $ $ $
  1. Now that you have calculated the cost of the product, use that information to calculate the percentage markup based on cost.[Hint: Percentage markup based on cost is = (Price-Cost)/Cost.]
Website a: (name) Website b: (name) Website c: (name)
Percentage Markup: % % %
  1. Calculate the percentage difference between the price you would like to pay and the price of the product/service.

Remember, this percentage will be positive if the price of the product or service is lower than the price you would like to pay. If the price is over-budget then there will be a negative number. If the price is under budget then there will be a positive number. [Hint: To calculate the percentage difference, you should use the formula: (Budget – Price)/Budget.]
