Q: How do I determine where to set my profit margin?
A: Once you get the price-cost-volume relationships down on paper, you can begin to play with these factors. Scenarios can be created to help you sort through the calculations and envision how various factors will affect your profit. You can look at peer groups and industry averages to estimate what the market can bear, then take into account fixed overheads to come up with a desirable pricing scheme.
