Lauden Conference Solutions specializes in the design and installation of meeting and conference centers for large corporations. When bidding on jobs, the company estimates product cost and direct labor for installers and marks up the total cost by 35 percent.

Product costs including podiums, seating, lighting, etc...... $150,000
Installer salaries...................... $25,000
Total......................... $175,000
Markup at 35 percent.................... $61,250
Bid price......................... $236,250
