"Companies go out of business every day. If they could adjust their prices to cover their cost, how would any company ever go out of business?"

So when companies make a profit, it's just an accident or a coincidence? Isn't it odd that businesses overall on a net basis are profitable and that is the case year end and year out?

By way of follow-up, isn't it a hell of a coincidence that as crude oil prices have gone up for the past few years, so has the per gallon price at the pump?

Neither. They were able to make their products for less than they could sell them for.

Isn't it odd that so many companies go out of business every year. I guess they should have followed your pricing method and they would have been guaranteed profits!

Here's an idea - you should write a book!!!

Chapter 1: Add up Your Costs.

Chapter 2: Add Whatever Profit You Want

Chapter 3: Add Whatever Taxes You Think You Might Have to Pay

The End
