You can put this solution on YOUR website! They buy it for 6*(0.80) or $4.80 per bag
The overhead is 45% of that of 2.16.
that makes the price 6.96, and 20% profit on cost is $0.96
The selling price per bag should be $7.92
The markup based on selling price is $3.12 /$7.92, or 39.4%
Based on cost, it is 65%
Break-even price is $6.96.
At $6, the loss is $0.96 per bag.
