How the Calculator Works
The calculator uses a simple formula to estimate the total batch cost: Total Batch Cost = (Batch Size x Material Cost per Unit) + (Batch Size x Labor Cost per Unit) + (Batch Size x Overhead Cost per Unit). This formula takes into account the various costs associated with production, including the cost of materials, labor, and overheads.
| Batch Size | Material Cost per Unit | Labor Cost per Unit | Overhead Cost per Unit | Total Batch Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100 | $10.00 | $5.00 | $2.00 | $1,700.00 |
| 500 | $10.00 | $5.00 | $2.00 | $8,500.00 |
| 1000 | $10.00 | $5.00 | $2.00 | $17,000.00 |
