So we need $140,000. The marketing plan is dependent on what we’re selling. The cost/price formula is worked out when the retail price of the widget is not known — like when we are manufacturing it for example. In the Internet business, if you are going to sell e-books that you will be writing, you need to know how much to sell them for.
