Setting the Right Price
Total Costs
Direct Costs + Labor + Overhead
SLIDE 11
Setting the Right Price
Total Cost Example
Direct Costs = $5.00
Labor [2hrs @ $10 per hour] = $20.00
Overhead [@ 20% of $5.00 +20.00] = $5.00
Direct Costs + Labor + Overhead = $5 + $20 + $5 = $30

Direct Costs
Labor
Overhead (20% - 25% of Direct Costs + Labor)
Profit (10% - 20% of Total Costs)
SLIDE 15
Setting the Right Price
Price
Direct Costs = $5.00
Labor [2hrs @ $10 per hour] = $20.00
Overhead [@ 20% of $5.00 +20.00] = $5.00
Profit [@10% of $5.00 + $20 $5] = $3.00
Direct Costs + Labor + Overhead + Profit = $5 + $20 + $5 + $3 = $33
SLIDE 16
Setting the Right Price
Retail Price
Direct Costs = $5.00
Labor [2hrs @ $10 per hour] = $20.00
Overhead [@ 20% of $5.00 +20.00] = $5.00
Profit [@10% of ($5.00 + $20 + $5)] = $3.00
Wholesale Price = $33
Retail Price [wholesale price x 2] = $66
SLIDE 17
Setting the Right Price
Break-Even Point
The point at which sales (revenues) are
exactly equal to costs (expenses).
Sales = Variable Expenses + Fixed Expenses
SLIDE 18
Setting the Right Price
Break-Even Point Example
Sales = Variable Expenses + Fixed Expenses
1.00x = .45x + 275
1.00x - .45x = 275
.55x = 275
x = 500
SLIDE 19
Setting the Right Price
Break-Even Point Example
Sales = Variable Expenses + Fixed Expenses
1.00x = .45x + .20(1.00x)
1.00x - .45x = 275 + .20x
1.00x - .45x - .20x = 275
.35x = 275
x = 786
