[PAR] [TLE] Markup (business) [SEP] Markup is the ratio between the cost of a good or service and its selling price.  It is expressed as a percentage over the cost.  A markup is added onto the total cost incurred by the producer of a good or service in order to cover the costs of doing business and create a profit.  The total cost reflects the total amount of both fixed and variable expenses to produce and distribute a product.  Markup can be expressed as a fixed amount or as a percentage of the total cost or selling price.  Retail markup is commonly calculated as the difference between wholesale price and retail price, as a percentage of wholesale.  Other methods are also used. [PAR] [TLE] Murabaha [SEP] Murabaḥah, murabaḥa or murâbaḥah (Arabic: مرابحة‎ ‎ , derived from "ribh" Arabic: ربح‎ ‎ , meaning profit) is a term of "fiqh" (Islamic jurisprudence) for a sales contract where the buyer and seller agree on the markup (profit) or "cost-plus" price for the item(s) being sold.  In recent decades it has become a term for a very common form of Islamic (i.e. "shariah compliant") financing, where the price is marked-up in exchange for allowing the buyer to defer payment (a contract with deferred payment being known as "bai-muajjal").  "Murabaha" financing is similar to a rent-to-own arrangement in the non-Muslim world, with the intermediary (i.e. the lending bank) retaining ownership of the item being sold until the loan is paid in full.  There are also Islamic investment funds and sukuk (Islamic bonds) that use "murabahah" contracts.
