Step-by-Step Solution
0 of 4 Steps Completed- Unit material cost must always incorporate the specific waste factor for that material before adding it to the assembly price.
- Labor costs must convert crew hourly or daily rates into a unit-based rate using productivity.
- The final markup percentage is applied to the aggregate of all direct unit costs.
- Complex assemblies can be estimated in aggregate and then divided by the primary quantity metric to find a blended unit price.
