What Changed?

Your FX rate moved from ₦1,450.00/$ to ₦1,540.00/$. On a $20,000 shipment, this adds approximately ₦1.8 million to your goods cost before other import charges.

At your current ₦45,000 selling price, projected gross margin has fallen from 25.6% to 21.6%.

To restore your 25% target margin, your selling price would need to rise to approximately ₦47,067 per unit, assuming other costs remain unchanged.
