- Markup Amount: This is the extra amount added to the cost based on the desired profit margin.
- Proposed Price (Selling Price): This is the final price proposed to the client. It is calculated as: Proposed Price=Total Direct Cost×(1+Desired Profit Margin100)\text{Proposed Price} = \text{Total Direct Cost} \times \left(1 + \frac{\text{Desired Profit Margin}}{100}\right)Proposed Price=Total Direct Cost×(1+100Desired Profit Margin)
