Activity Look at the raw materials that we have provided for you. Each one of those components has a cost: What is the total cost of the materials that you need to assemble a bot?
Activity Now you need to figure out what the cost of putting all of those components together into one finished Bristlebot is. We call this the cost of labor. For your company the cost of labor is 50 cents per unit. So, now that you have considered the cost of labor, what is the cost of putting together a Bristlebot? The cost of materials and the cost of labor are known as Cost of Goods Sold or COGS.
Activity In addition to the cost of assembling each Bristlebot, you need to consider other costs called Administrative Expenses. These expenses include the following: These expenses are a little different, because it does not matter whether or not you are producing Bristlebots, the firm MUST pay for them. So, even if your factory is closed, you still have to take care of these expenses. Because of this, we call these expenses Fixed Costs. Also, because these expenses do not change with the amount of Bristlebots you produce, the more you Bristlebots you produce, the smaller these expenses will be per unit produced.
Activity Based on what you now know, how much will you charge for each Bristlebot? Once you have determined the pricing and the amount that you need to produce, fill in the form what we have provided for you by following the instructions. Did your company generate a profit? If not, produce and sell more Bristlebots and fill in the form again. What happens to profits as you increase sales?
