Re: Brewing water temperature

The only problem is with commercial math. If you add $25 in actual cost, 
the manufacturers cost to the retailer will be increased by 1000% not 
100%. When I worked for Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxxx (name Xxed out to protect ME) 
the direct cost of any product never exceeded 17.5%. Prior to that 
manufacturer another american cor****ation wanted and even higher figure. 
In 1984 we closed a division which had the markup, but total US sales 
amounted to only $22 million and was closed without even an effort to 
sell it. (they called it protection of the brand)
