You are a project manager for Cowboy Bill's Sandwich shop, a wholesale sandwich maker, and have been asked to manage the introduction of a new buffalo sandwich. Listed below are the initial cost estimates for the ingredients and labor for 1000 sandwiches delivered to the retail outlets: PRODUCT COMPONENT COST ESTIMATE TYPE OF ESTIMATE Buffalo $80.00 Order of Magnitude (market price) Lettuce $15.00 Definitive (own farms) Tomatoes $12.00 Definitive (own farms) Pickles $7.00 Budget (existing supplier) Corn Starch $5.50 Budget (existing supplier) Mustard $3.70 Definitive (in stock item) Buffalo special sauce $3.00 Order of Magnitude (new product) Aromatic Herbs $6.50 Budget (existing supplier) Semi toxic food preservative $1.50 Definitive (in stock item) Labor $6.00 Order of Magnitude (Buffalo preparers an unknown quantity) Packing and shipping $18.00 Definitive (same as current product) Total cost $158.20 NAThe target retail price for the new sandwich is $1.49 each. This is the cost the retailer thinks they can sell the sandwich and still make money. The average markup from Bill to the Retailer is 150%. New products are targeted for 100% markup by the Retailer to the consumer on introduction, so that price and cost reductions can be taken as required by competitive pressure and still keep the product profitable.
