Spot prices are influenced by supply and demand. There is a slight arbitrage between trading facilities, but it is usually very small and does not last long.

Mike's Bakery makes brownies that cost $.80 each. \n\n15 percent of the brownies will spoil and thus are not salable. \n\nMike wants a 35 percent markup based on cost. Mike produces 500 brownies. Each brownie should sell for??? \n\n-----------------------------------------\n\nWe know the cost of the brownies which is .80 cents each.\n\nWe know the amount of the brownies, which is 500.\n\nWe know that 15% will spoil, and cannot be sold.\n\n15% of 500 is 75 brownies.  This means that only 425 brownies can be sold.\n\nThe true cost of the brownies is 500 brownies * .80 cents = 400 dollars\n\nIf we need to make a 35% markup BASED ON ACTUAL MANUFACTURING COST (not on the amount we can sell). That means we need to make $140 dollars profit (35% of $400 = $140)\n\nWe know that we will be able to only sell 425 brownies\n\nTotal amount of money that we need to make then is $540.  It takes $400 (to cover manufacturing costs) + $140 (profit) = $540\n\nSo we take the gross needed to be made ($540) and divide that by the amount of brownies that we can sell (425)\n\nWhich then gives us how much we need to charge for each brownie, which works out to be approximately $1.27 if rounded lower.  However we need to make sure we have at least a 35% markup, so we automatically round up to $1.28.

Best bet would be to compile it yourself.  In US, you can use yellowpages.com to get a listing and contact information for "import/export" companies

Yes, for each country, you can make a selection of items whose relative share of the median weekly wage you then compute. If you do it a little broader than the coke can, you can get a more truthful picture of the situation (coke, stapple cerial/grain food per 2000 KJ, stapple meat source per 10000 KJ, six eggs, clean drinkable water per 10 L; depending on use, you might consider including housing, transportation costs, education expediture, etc.)\n\nComparing apples and oranges can lead rather bland results. As an example try comparing the following cases: 1) one matriachial country with a family-oriented organization (collective earning) and where the median wage being in the lower social class segment; with 2) an individualized, even singularized, post-industrial country, where the median wage lies in the upper middle class.\n\nWhat I'm getting at is, that life can be a very different experience, also in terms of well-being, happiness, values, goals in life, etc. - so different in fact, that using a relative prices comparison in some cases, without considering these issues, can be akin to raping the data to have it bear your child (sorry, rough picture! :).

the price of the commodoties in any country is affected mainly by the law of supply and demand. what it afected most are the lumber cause it will take many years to grow trees,next is medication cause the sea is containated by the pathogenic organisms coming from the victims of tsunamih. food supply will be resolved by the agricultural sectors of other regions in your archipelago.

Honestly? probably never again. World consumption far outpaces production (Thanks to China) coupled with production troubles (political and economic instability in producing countries) mean we will be paying higher prices. (Don't forget inflation too).

I used to work for the United States Commercial Trade Service in San Francisco, and we deal with this sort of thing all the time. We connect small businesses here in the US with international vendors. Plus, it's a free service offered by the government, for the most part. If you want specific information, then they start charging you. Their website is www.export.gov \n\nGood Luck!

Let you figure this out. You manufacture computer tables in the USA, your cost is $50, i move to mexico and make the same table for $15, anytime i decide to start selling them for $45, guess who's going out of business. Since the free trade (NAFTA) was signed in 1992, about one million manufacturing jobs have went south, Good luck with your career of flipping burgers.

Very much depends on what the goods are.  There are different tariffs for different products if you ring Customs and Excise they will give you all the information you require.
