| Puget Concrete is a major west coast supplier of concrete to residential and commercial builders with multiple sites in the Puget Sound area. Concrete is sold (priced) by the cubic yard including costs based on number of cubic tards, delivery costs based on miles driven, and number of truck-hours while at the job site. The company's pricing policy is to price orders for concrete at 25% over full cost per cubic yard for the order. Full cost includes variable costs for concrete, delivery and yard operations plus an allocation for the estimated annual fixed costs of delivery, site operations and administrative costs (see 2017 cost estimates below). | |||||
