Material Cost Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the material cost is:

\[ MC = Q \times CPQ \]

Where:

$ MC $ is the material cost ($)
$ Q $ is the total quantity of material needed
$ CPQ $ is the cost per unit of material ($/unit)

What is Material Cost?

Material cost refers to the total expense incurred to acquire the materials needed for a project or production. It is calculated by multiplying the total quantity of material by the cost per unit of material.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Total Quantity of Material (Q) = 100 units
Cost Per Unit of Material (CPQ) = $5/unit

Using the formula to calculate the material cost:

\[ MC = 100 \times 5 = 500 \]

The material cost is $500.
