Analytical Proof & Invariants
Machine PrecisionGoverning Mathematical Formula:
Net Profit = Retail Price - Landed COGS - Amazon Referral Fee - FBA Fulfillment Fee
Step-by-Step Mathematical Derivation
1
Amazon Referral Commission
Referral Fee = Listing Price × Referral % = $29.99 × 15% = $4.50.
2
FBA Pick & Pack Tier Estimation
For 14 oz standard-size tier: Amazon FBA fee ≈ $5.25. Total fees = $4.50 + $5.25 + $0.35 storage = $10.10.
3
Net Unit Margin Calculation
Net Profit = $29.99 - $6.80 (COGS) - $10.10 (Amazon Fees) = $13.09 per unit.
4
Net Margin Percentage & ROI
Net Margin = ($13.09 / $29.99) × 100 = 43.6%. ROI on Inventory = ($13.09 / $6.80) × 100 = 192.5%.
