Selling prices per toy are:

Building blocks	£16.00

The manufacturing cost is based on the materials used, labour costs and expenses incurred to produce the toy.

Teddington Traditional Toys manufactures the three toys in distinct cells of the production facility as this saves on set up costs and idle time.

Production overheads cover the costs of the production supervisors, line managers, warehouse storage, rent, rates, utility bills and insurance, depreciation of the machines. If actual production exceeds 60% of current budgeted capacity the production overheads will increase by 25%.

The other overhead charge is to cover the advertising, selling and distribution costs as well as the administrative support from the finance and purchasing departments. This cost also covers a membership fee to the British Toy and Hobby Association (BTHA) and the product and public liability insurance.
