How this is calculated
Worked example, using the default values
- Identify Input Parameters4 parametersNet area (sq m) = 500, Damage % = 10, Labor rate ($/hr) = 20, Twine (kg/sq m) = 0.05 = 5 input(s) provided
- Calculate Total repair costTotal repair cost = laborCost + materialCost520 = $520
- Calculate Labor hoursLabor hours = round((damageAreaSqM / mendingRate) * 100) / 10025 = 25
- Calculate Labor costLabor cost = round(laborHours * laborRatePerHr * 100) / 100500 = $500
