The formula to calculate the cost per use (CPU) is:
\[ CPU = \frac{TC}{U} \]
Where:
Cost per use is the equivalent amount you would pay to use an item one time. Usually, this term is used when looking at consumer objects with a limited lifespan.
Formula: Cost per Unit = \( \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Number of Units}} \)
Example: Cost per Unit = \( \frac{10000}{500} \)
Formula: Cost per Item = \( \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Number of Items}} \)
Example: Cost per Item = \( \frac{8000}{400} \)
Formula: Total Cost per Unit = \( \frac{\text{Total Fixed Costs} + \text{Total Variable Costs}}{\text{Number of Units}} \)
Example: Total Cost per Unit = \( \frac{5000 + 3000}{400} \)
Formula: Cost per Test = \( \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Number of Tests}} \)
Example: Cost per Test = \( \frac{6000}{300} \)
Formula: Energy Use Cost = \( \text{Energy Consumption} \times \text{Cost per Unit of Energy} \)
Example: Energy Use Cost = \( 500 \times 0.12 \)
Formula: Cost per Thousand = \( \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Number of Thousands}} \)
Example: Cost per Thousand = \( \frac{10000}{10} \)
Formula: Average Cost per Unit = \( \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Total Units}} \)
Example: Average Cost per Unit = \( \frac{12000}{600} \)
