What is the profit per unit if a raw product costs $2.00, processing is $1.50, compliance is $0.50, market access is $1.00, and I sell it for $6.00?

The margin per unit is $1.00, with a gross margin percentage of 16.67%.

I am investing $500,000 in a new facility that will generate $125,000 in annual net profit. What is my ROI and payback period?

The annual ROI is 25% and the payback period is 4 years.

If my raw cost is $5.00, processing is $2.00, and I want a 30% gross margin on a $10.00 selling price, is it viable?

Yes, the operation is viable. The maximum allowable processing cost to maintain a 30% margin is $2.00.

You can use the `calculate_unit_economics` tool. Provide the raw product cost, processing cost, compliance cost, market access cost, and the final selling price to get the margin per unit.
