Price

Cost-plus works as its name implies. A merchant determines the all-in cost of selling a product — sourcing, warehousing, marketing — and then adds a markup.

Thus, while helpful, cost-plus requires nuance and is not likely the only strategy to apply. Cost-plus pricing on the surface appears easy to use and maintain. Setting the target margin in cost-plus pricing is not as simple as doubling the price or picking an arbitrary profit on each unit sold. What will be the response of a close competitor when we set a target margin? Each altered the price to make or buy inventory. The first complexity is fluctuating product costs.

Holcomb said inflation across the board will influence the 2023 egg price outlook because the egg industry’s new normal is yet to be determined. While eggs are more budget-friendly than beef, pork, turkey or chicken, the rapid climb of egg demand in 2022 does not run parallel to a price hike in other markets.

However, today’s record prices reflect the nationwide impact of [Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza](https://extension.okstate.edu/highly-pathogenic-avian-influenza.html) and a booming demand for egg consumption. “There is no doubt of some substitution of eggs for other proteins, although I don’t believe it to be a major factor,” Peel said. Higher egg prices are more likely due to supply issues than those that are demand driven. “They were a good protein source that was available, cheap and easy to fix. “It only takes about six weeks to go from a hatched chick to a broiler that’s ready for market. “In the food research I did 30 years ago as a grad student, eggs were always the lower-cost animal protein option,” Holcomb said.
