You can evaluate profit (the difference between the average cost 
and the selling price) on goods and services using either markup 
or margin. If you’re not sure which to use, you can ask your 
accountant which profit-evaluation method is most common in 
your type of business. 

Markup and margin are evaluated using the following formulas: 

Selling price – cost 

■ 

 Markup = 

Cost 

 x 100 

 

Selling price – cost 

■ 

 Margin = 

Selling price 

 x 100 

The program uses the weighted-moving-average method to 
calculate the cost of the items you sell. 

1.  In the Home window, on the Setup menu, choose System 

Settings, then Settings.  

2.  Click the Inventory and Services tab. 

 

Choose the order in which 
items appear on your 
inventory and services list. 

Select one of the profit-
evaluation methods 
described above. 

These options appear if 
you have set up a foreign 
currency. See Chapter 10 
for more information. 

Check this box if you may 
need to record a sale 
before purchasing 
sufficient inventory.  

 

3.  Click OK.
