So, if Dixon's buys a CR 2032 button cell for 10p, how much should they
mark
it up then?

30%? 50%? 100%?

If they mark it up 200% they'll incur a loss every time they make a sale.

But the mark up in this cases would be about 5000%....


And how much of that do you think is profit? Just for starters, things such
as button cells, just like razor blades in a supermarket, must be nicked by
the thousand.
