Answer 1

Answer:

49%

Explanation:

Material mark up per dollar of material used = Target profit + Percentage of material purchasing , handling and storage

Material mark up per dollar of material used = 25% + (315,900/1,316,250 *100)

Material mark up per dollar of material used = 25% + 24%

Material mark up per dollar of material used = 49%
