With each machine weighing 4.95 lbs., the overall cost of plastic per machine is $5.50. The cost of each motor, assuming once again they buy in bulk, is about $3.00 per machine. With the cost of manufacturing minimal, the overall cost of production is around $10.00. This gives Rival a profit of around $20.00.
