Kyler Builders builds 1,500-square-foot starter tract homes in the fast-growing suburbs of Houston. Land and labor are cheap, and competition among developers is fierce. The homes are "cookie-cutter," with any upgrades added by the buyer after the sale. Kyler Builders' cost per developed sublot are as follows:

Land $52,000
Construction $52,000
Landscaping $6,000
Variable marketing costs,, $3,000

Kyler Builders would like to earn a profit of 14% of the variable cost of each home sale. Similar homes offered by competing builders sell for $202,000 each.
