Best way to do it is to add up the resource cost. Then add up the time time it took you to make it ( how much power did it take from your harvestor). Then maybe an additional cost so you gain instead of cutting even.
Do that math. Depends on how good your resources are.

There are lots of threads asking this and lots of opinions. Keep in mind prices will vary by server.
I use a rule of thumb of 5 cpu for flora and things which can be harvested automatically and 15 cpu for those which have to be harvested by hand (bones, hides, meat, eggs, milk, etc). This will allow me to pay my guildmates 10 cpu for the stuff they get and still make a bit of a profit. I also figured that for tissues which require around 190s per to make that factory costs were about 200 creds per crate (of 25).
I suspect I could charge more but then the price of the foods I buy would likely go up so this is what I'm doing now. I got dropped as a supplier by one chef because he found someone who could make him larger factory runs but I arranged another deal immediately so I suspect that while it's not quite a seller's market there is lots of work out there for chef tissues.

I've been accused of undercharging, but mostly sell internally to PA members, many of whichgive me resoureces or sell harvested components at a reduced price.
But I charge around these numbers:
- Light Chef component - 750
- Medium Chef Component - 1000
- Heavy Chef Component- 1250
- Tailor Tissue - 1000 per
Mostly sell the Mediums and Tailor tissues, so my math is easy, which has its own value!
