If you have a calculator with with cost and sell buttons do the following. Put in 325, hit the cost button, put in 542 and hit the sell button. It equals 40.036 just like this post says. That is how a business works but apparently whoever you talked to does not know how to explain it.
Just an observation but if I was a business owner I wouldn't want
any employee discussing dealer costs and markup with
any customer. :E This is private business information and no business of
any customer ... a retail quote is just that, how the dealer gets to that number is
his business and not the customer's who's only task is to decide if that's a price he's willing to pay for the part / service he's seeking. Secondly, any business that operates on a single pricing strategy for all products and services is doomed to failure ... considering this particular dealer has been around for awhile would suggest this employee who erred in even discussing this with the customer has no idea what he's taking about anyway. :R
