How do you calulate a price to your 1lb potato to the public?

Answer 1

this depends on the cost you pay, the profit you want and the demand(what the public wants to pay.), plus your overhead

If you pay 33 cents a pound and you want $100 profit daily but the public will pay only 43 cents a pound for up to 900 lbs a day, 40 cents a pound for up to 1500 lbs a day, and 37 cents a day for up to 2500 lbs a day it would seem you profits would increase to maximum at around 40 cents a pound with the least amount of work for you, and the lowest initial outlay. There are other factors involved and situations differ everywhere. Costs change as amounts change, amount of work increases with volume....etc.
