How is a book priced?

A book is priced according to the following formula:

Price = Production Cost + Author's Margin + Our Margin

Production cost depends on the physical properties of the book, like number of pages, page size, binding type etc.

Author's Margin is the earning specified by the author while uploading his/her book.

Our Margin is equal to the author's margin or a minimum. The minimum margin is 30% of the production cost with an upper limit of 30 Rs. What this means is that if the production cost is less than 100 Rs, the minimum margin is 30% of the production cost. For the production cost of 100 Rs. and above, the minimum margins is 30 Rs. If the cost of production is 60 Rs. for example, our minimum margin would be 18 Rs. If the cost of production is 200 Rs. our minimum margin would be 30 Rs.
