How is it calculated?

  • Cost (each row) = [Quantity (kg)] × ([Price per kg] + [Freight per kg])
  • net (each row) = [Quantity (kg)] × (1 − [Loss %] ÷ 100)
  • Ukg (each row) = [Quantity (kg)] × ([Price per kg] + [Freight per kg]) ÷ ([Quantity (kg)] × (1 − [Loss %] ÷ 100))
  • Total raw material cost = [Σ Cost]
  • Total usable = [SUM_NET]
  • Average cost per kg = [Σ Cost] ÷ [SUM_NET]
