4 sample combos (with cost and profit calculated in advance)

You can change the menu but try to maintain the "three layers of flavor" structure. The figures are based on the sample cost of goods sold table above.

Formulas for calculating selling price and profit

• Cost of goods sold/portion = Σ (quantity × cost per tablet) + additional costs
• Suggested retail price = Cost of goods sold ÷ (1 – target profit margin)
• Gross profit = Selling price – Cost price
• Aggregated copy (%) = Gross profit ÷ Selling price

Excel sample:

A2 = Total cost of goods sold B2 = Target margin (e.g., 0.35) C2 (Selling price) = ROUNDUP(A2/(1-B2),-3) D2 (Gross profit) = C2 - A2 E2 (Gross margin) = D2 / C2

Rounding rules: Preferably .000 or .500 (e.g., 15,000 / 15,500 / 16,000) for readability.
