Answer: the markup percentage= 40 %
Explanation:
Markup, usually expressed as a percentage is the price one gets after selling a product from the difference of the purchase cost and selling price. The greater the markup, the more profit after sale of products.

Markup=Target profit + fixed overhead cost + fixed selling and administrative costs) / total variable cost
$100,000 + $120,000 +$50,000 /$675,000
=0.4 x 100 = 40%
Markup percentage =40
