Understanding retail markdowns

Retail markdowns are price reductions used by stores to clear excess stock, boost sales, attract customers, or move outdated items. While they can increase sales and reduce inventory, poorly planned markdowns may lower profits. The markdown percentage is calculated by dividing the price reduction by the original selling price.
