(HP-65) Markup - % of price and % of cost - Dave Britten - 01-18-2020 02:05 AM

This program solves the price-cost-markup equation for any variable, and using either markup as % of price or markup as % of cost.

Recommended Key Labels

A: P
B: C
C: MU%
D: %P
E: %C

If you wish to follow the Finance Pac labeling convention, draw a box around P, C, and MU%, to represent variables that can be solved for.


Usage

Keys A, B, and C represent the variables in the equation: price, cost, and markup % respectively. To store a value, enter it into x and press the matching key. To solve for a variable, press the matching key with 0 in the x register.

To select % of price or % of cost mode, press either D or E respectively. The calculation mode is controlled by flag 1, with % of price represented by flag 1 cleared (the default state).


Examples

If a store is purchasing a product for $38 and selling it for $50, what is the markup over cost?

E (set % of cost mode)
38 B
50 A
C: 31.58%


A company purchases a finished good for $27 wholesale. They would like to make at least 24% margin on the sale of this good. What should the minimum selling price be?

D (set % of price/margin mode)
27 B
24 C
A: $35.53

Finally someone here interested about Markup% and Margin%
I called this Business Percent as " Profit on Pricing " calculations.

I have program this on serveral HP RPN programmable calculator here.

Your program algorithm is very interesting compared to my version.

You have to get creative when you only have 100 steps, and things like LBL, GTO, and 1/x take 2 of them. Wink

I was trying to come up with a way to have all four variables without the manual mode switch, but I don't think it can be done elegantly in the space available.

In line #11, the shouldn’t the key code be 81 instead of 61?

/ =81
+ = 61

You are correct, thanks. I was transcribing this rather late at night. Smile

Pricing on Profit program for HP-12C took only 60 program steps.

Interesting. I'll have to give it a closer look, but that might fit on the 65. However, any GTO would become 2 steps and require a matching LBL - which would also be 2 steps - the 65 doesn't have built-in percent functions, so those would become more steps, and functions like 1/x are unmerged and take two steps (one for the shift key).
