Research and Development Cost - This can be “set up fee” and might set your business up for the next 10 years it could be something you continually invest in depending on your aspirations, the market and your products success, when working out your financial goals of your business and yearly budgets you will understand how much you can allocate to RnD
For Example - I want 10 products tested across 10 different manufacturers again this should not blow out your entire business budget or cash flow it should be well inside where you are confident to achieve the results you require less can be more though more is interesting to see what else the marketing is producing.

In manufacturing a product or buying raw materials, the cost of goods refers to the expenses incurred in producing a product or creating a supply chain.
These costs can be divided into three main categories: direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead.
To calculate the cost of goods for a particular product, you would add together the costs for direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead.
This total cost is then divided by the number of units produced to determine the cost per unit.
It's important to note that the cost of goods is different from the selling price of a product. The selling price is the price at which a manufacturer or retailer plans to sell the product, and it includes not only the cost of goods but also other expenses such as marketing, transportation, and profit margin. Read on for more information about logistic costs and Marketing costs.
But First how do you determine the quality of a product and yes this 100% should be included in you yearly budget under COG and should be variable considering the volume of units per orders, I hope its constantly going up :)
This is a robust list of costs to take into account from the idea of the product all the way to the end delivery to the golden customer, there could also include shipping samples to your manufacturer or agent.
Though the below could be argued need to budget into their own respective aspects of your overall business budget.
We recommend - taking each bolded section cut and paste this into a spreadsheet and start mapping out as much as you can.
This is the thoughtfulness required to understand how much it costs to manufacturer a product some people get lucky but a lot less have products in garages collecting dust.
