| COPIER/DIGITAL COSTING (click charge) |
| In this screen shot, I have an example of copier costing. You will need to put your numbers in!
I prefer to put ALL of my costs per copy in the "click cost" field for the following reasons. In my option, it is very difficult to calculate 1) % of time in use 2) Developer 3) Toner per copy. Each month your volume count will change and the % in use also varies. As a result, I calculate my click cost to be (in this example):
a) Over the past 6 months I averaged 300,000 copies per month and I had a lease payment of $600.00. This gives me a lease charge per copy of 0.002
b) My maintenance cost is set at 0.009 per copy.
c) My labor cost per copy is 0.004 and is calculated by 300,000 copies per month divided by 90 copies per minute to give me 55 1/2 hours of production. My labor of $1,200 calculated to $21.62 per hour (labor rate plus taxes/insurance/other overhead) comes to 0.004 per click.
So the total cost per click become 0.002 plus 0.009 plus 0.004 for 0.015

The above copier is set up to have the stock cost "marked up stock cost" and then the box for "use copier/digital stock markup" is unchecked. As a result, the stock markup will be take from the stock definitions. The below screen shot show that the stock (cost $3.46 per 500 sheets will be marked up by 1.5.

 In this example, now have out stock cost at $69.16 ($3.46 per 500 or $6.92 per 1000) and our click cost at $150.00 (10,000 x 0.015) for a total cost of $219.16. |
