Calculation:


Packing Units (pounds method) = (Paper Lbs + Ink Lbs) / Lbs per Unit

Packing Units (pieces method) = Estimate Quantity / Pieces per Unit

Minutes First + ((Packing Units - 1) x Minutes Repeat) = Standard Minutes

(Standard Minutes / 60) x J% = Estimated Hours

Estimated Hours x Rate = Cost $

Cost $ x Markup % = Markup $

Cost $ + Markup $ = Sell $
