8. An acquaintance in marketing has requested your help in pricing the Spider Cider product for
the launch. They tell you that for every day after the Spider Cider beverage is produced the
company incurs a $3,650 fee to keep the unbottled beverage in vats, at 17.00°C, and the
postponement of sales in stores. If Witch's Brew wants to make a minimum profit of $50,000,

overall unit cost?
(Hint: think of ALL the costs associated with the final beverage.)
