World Gourmet Coffee Company (WGCC) is a distributor and processor of different blends of coffee. The company buys coffee beans from around the world and roasts, biends, and packages them for resale. WGCC currently has 15 different coffees that it offers to gourmet shops in one-pound bags. The major cost is raw materials; however, there is a substantial amount of manufacturing overhead in the predominantly automated roasting and packing process. The company uses relatively liftle direct labor: Some of the colfees are very popular and sell in large volumes, while a few of the newer blends have very low volumes, wGCC prices its coffee at full product cost, including allocated overhead, plus a markup of 20 percent. If prices for certain coffees are significantly higher than market, adjustments are made. The company competes primarlly on the qualty of its products, but customers are price. conscious as well.
