URGENT Am I getting fair market or am I losing money?

[Guest]

I am still trying to figure out the economics of the game. I am selling shoes. I have a plantation and a textile factory. I have been offered to sell 998 shoes at a price of 350 each. I believe that I am making some money on these, but I want to be sure. Noone else has shoes for sale, so it is hard to compare.

My example If I produce 250 shoes would I be correct in the following scenerio... Let me assume I buy all products at market instead of producing them cheaper myself

I would need
250 textiles that sell at 1.55 each cost 38750
125 leather that sell at 1.45 each cost 18125
75000 power that sell at .06 each cost 4500
Then I have product cost at 3750

I show I have 64125 in cost divided by 250 units or 256.50 each is this correct?

What would be a fair mark up? I have been offered 350 per unit for 998 units. My plant can make 250 in 20 hours with two people.
At what point should I
A) add another person
B) expand building
C) add another building

Keep in mind I am the only one on market selling glovs. So, I want to be profitable. However, I would think that I would be able to sell at a little higher price since the competition level is slow at the moment.

Should I send a contract? How would you word the contract? When a person is buying gloves, what are they doing with them? Do they sell at a market or do the use them for something else?

Thanks for everyones help

well at the begining you should be another building (it's cheaper then expanding the ones you have already)

and well - since there are not many ppl making shoes you can earn much money because the demand for shoes is not satisfied

and yes your calculations are prolly right
