Units x Square Inches per Unit = Total Square Inches
(Base Setup Min) + (Units x Min per Unit) + (Total Sq Inches x Min per Square Inch) = Total Min
If Time per M option selected, divide Total Min by 1000
(Total Minutes / 60) x J% = Estimated Hours
Estimated Hours x Rate = Cost $
Cost $ x Markup % = Markup $
Cost $ + Markup $ = Sell $
