Cost per unit, built the way it should be built
A cost model with the four real inputs, overage and yield included, and formulas that recalculate.
Most cost-per-unit spreadsheets are a single number somebody worked out once. This one is a calculation, which is the only form of it that survives a supplier price change.
It builds cost the way it is actually incurred: the recipe at current prices, then packaging, then tolling at the band your run qualifies for, then inbound freight — and finally divided by yield, because the cost of the units that did not make it lands on the ones that did.
Two lines people leave out and should not. Overage, because you buy more than the recipe calls for and you pay for all of it. And yield, because a run at ninety-six per cent instead of ninety-nine quietly adds about three per cent to your true cost without a single invoice changing.
