COST AND PRICING ANALYSIS
ASSIGNMENT STEPS
1. This submission must include a cost analysis, determining, as precisely as possible, the cost of importing or
exporting the proposed product in the proposed trade market. This analysis must identify and provide an
accurate projection for all real costs related to the business opportunity. You are encouraged to use and
provide a costing sheet along with your detailed analysis.
2. After identifying the real cost of your proposed venture, you must determine a suitable pricing strategy that
will be competitive, cover costs, and provide a profit margin compared to what you could achieve with a
similar product by operating in the domestic Canadian market. Your choice of pricing strategy must consider
all relevant factors associated with your chosen market.
3. Once you have completed your cost and pricing analysis, provide a recommendation of whether or not this
business opportunity is actually feasible based upon these criteria. Refer to your collected data to support
your claim. If your venture is not feasible, you must modify your plan to create a viable alternative.
General Assignment Guidelines
a. Produce a well-organized, cost, and pricing report that reflects both descriptive and analytical abilities.
Consider options and alternatives. Make recommendations and explain the reason for your selections.
b. Structure the presentation in line with the rubric criteria and assignment instructions. Review the
expectations related to each section of the project and ensure you address these thoroughly. Look carefully
at the grading scheme. In general, if a section is worth twice as much as another, your project should reflect
that proportion.
c. Remember that these projects are your opportunity to demonstrate learning, understanding, and
retention of feasibility concepts. Sometimes, considering an alternative and dismissing it (with supporting
rationale) can be very effective in demonstrating your understanding of the material.
d. Your assignment should be submitted as a Word file and be 6 pages long.
a. Use Font: Arial, Font Size: 11, Spacing: double-spaced
b. Include a cover page and reference page. The cover page must include the name of your company, the
course title, and the names of the students who prepared the submission.
c. Your submission must conform to the requirements of APA formatting, including your annotated
bibliography. See Sault College APA Quick Guide for guidance on using APA to format your assignment.
