Westfield Graziers packages and distributes three grades of animal feed. The material cost per tonne and estimated annual sales for each of the products are as follows.

Product

Material cost

Estimated sales

Super Premium

$16.00

2,000 tonnes

Premium

$12.00

3,000 tonnes

Economy

$10.00

5,000 tonnes

The indirect cost of operating the machinery used to package all three products is $40 000 per year. In the past, prices have been set by allocating the indirect costs to products on the basis of estimated sales in tonnes. The resulting total costs (material costs plus allocated fixed overhead) are then marked up by 100 per cent.

Required

  1. Does the price in part (a) take into account how much customers are willing to pay for the product?
