(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 Code: LBL 23 RE: (HP-65) Markup - % of price and % of cost - Gamo - 01-18-2020 06:41 AM 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.

Gamo RE: (HP-65) Markup - % of price and % of cost - Dave Britten - 01-18-2020 02:11 PM You have to get creative when you only have 100 steps, and things like LBL, GTO, and 1/x take 2 of them. 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.

You are correct, thanks. I was transcribing this rather late at night. RE: (HP-65) Markup - % of price and % of cost - Gamo - 01-19-2020 09:08 AM Pricing on Profit program for HP-12C took only 60 program steps.

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). |
