Materials List Total Cost
In checking the "Total Cost" calculated I find that the formula being used is:
((Count+Extra) x Price x (1+(Markup/100))) + ((Count+Extra) x (Labor + Equipment)) = Total Cost
This seems a bit strange to me because I think that a contractor is generally going to add a markup to both Labor and Equipment.
Consequently, I would think the formula should be:
((COUNT+EXTRA)*(PRICE+EQUIPMENT+LABOR))*(1+(MARKUP/100)) = Total Cost
IOW:
Quantity x (Sum of unit Costs) x 1.Markup% = Total Cost
Does anyone else have an opinion on this?
