Analytical Proof & Invariants

Machine Precision
Governing 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%.
