Kamela and her sister, Jensen, got into the novelties business almost by accident. Kamela, a talented sculptor, often made little figurines as gifts for friends. Occasionally, she and Jensen would set up a booth at a crafts fair and sell a few of the figurines along with jewelry that Kamela made. Little by little, demand for the figurines, now called KamelaJens, grew, and the sisters began to reproduce some of the favorites in resin, using molds of the originals. The day came when a buyer for a major department store offered them a contract to produce 1,500 figurines of various designs for Rs.10,000. Kamela and Jensen realized that it was time to get down to business. To make bookkeeping simpler, Kamela had priced all of the figurines at Rs.8.00. Variable operating costs amounted to an average of Rs.6.00 per unit. To produce the order, Kamela and Jensen would have to rent industrial facilities for a month, which would cost them Rs.4,000.
