Worked example A batch of amagwinya

Add up what a batch costs you (ingredient plus overheads like gas, transport, and packets), divide by how many you bake to get your cost per amagwinya, then subtract that cost from your selling price: that is your profit on every one you sell, and on the whole batch.

Cost per unit = (ingredients + overheads) ÷ batch size

Selling price = cost per unit + your target profit

Profit per batch = (selling price - cost per unit) × batch size

How to use it

2
