Regarding Cost Formula

You pay for what you buy and with a bit of luck make a profit when you sell.

STOP SHOUTING!

Did you get a job that you are not qualified to do?

I NEED A MILLION BILLION DOLLARS. INFLATION, YOU KNOW.

Go back, look at past jobs and make your own spread sheet for future reference.

Great, I'm glad to hear that you need a costing formula for a sheet metal company.

Your statement prompts me to ask a few questions. What will happen to you if you don't find a formula? Will you lose your job or get a poor grade? In either case why do you think that we should care?

From your apparent panic of shouting an un-punctuated butchered statement instead of a comprehensible question, I suspect that you wouldn't know the difference between a cost analysis of machine shop from an episode synopsis of the Simpsons.

Go and meet thy fate!

$ Raw Material + $ Burn of Man Hours Production + $ Burn of Administration Staff + $ Burn of Infrastructure Overhead + $ Tooling + $ Burn of Regulatory Compliance + Factored Maintenance $ Burn + $ Burn Recurring Company Financing Overhead = Minimum Net Production Cost.

There you go , one bean counting MBA for zilch.

$ Burn = Cash Burn.

Googling "estimation software" or "sheet metal estimating" might turn up something useful.

Well, I need a decent night's kip, Pipsqueak. So turn the NOISE down and bog off somewhere else. <Splutter>
