Problem with an estimating program
I am putting together a program to help me estimate the cost of
various metal parts. One variable is the material cost. The parts are stamped from a sheet. I know how many parts one sheet will yield (D25). I know the cost of one sheet (B26). Here's my dilemma; I need to estimate my material cost based on various quantities. This will also cause me me to get the material price for additional sheets. The more sheets I buy the less they cost. Example; 1 Sheet costs $800 and yields 500 pcs. The quantities I'm estimating are 100, 250, 500, 1000 and 2000 pcs. This means one sheet will cover quantity pricing for 100, 250 and 500 pieces and the cost of material for these quantities is $800 divided by the particular quantity. I'll need 2 sheets for 1000 pcs and 4 sheets for 2000 pcs. S sheets cost a total od $1500 and 4 sheets costs $2900. My quantities a 100 = E27, 250 = F27, 500 = G27, 1000 = h27 and 2000 = I27. I need a formula that will compute how many sheets a particular quantity requires and based on that result will utilize the proper sheet cost. I realize I will need more cells for the different sheets costs. I will also want the formula to divide the applicable sheet cost by the applicable quantity to get a cost per piece at that quantity.Sheets can only be purchased as whole sheets so I cannot buy 3 1/2 sheets, I need instead to buy 4. I hope all this make sense and i appreciate any help anyone can offer. Many thanks.. |
