[TenTec] Misc. Orion comments

I am no accountant...yet :)  But I believe all this has to do with what the company's fixed costs are and the variable costs related to production and number of units sold.  They then come up with a break even point to cover those costs before they see a profit.  I don't think you can just assign a simple factor to the manufacturing cost to come up with the retail price for one unit.

But I am still learning..hihi.

  > Manufactured cost X 5 = Retail price.

  Manufactured cost = prime product assembly labor 
  and materials,  only.

  For a Growing company,  x 6 those two factors alone
  will pay all other costs,  marketing,  equipment, G&A, rent,  
  etc., etc. and also enough profit to keep on investing 
  in new products and employees.  Tain't all profit and pocket
  money,  hi.
