To figure your current operating cost:
operators x $
/hr. + $10/hr variable overhead = cost/hr.
(cost/hr) x 2000 hrs. = $
(H) Annual Operating Cost
(CP) Potential CardPak solvent-based output
=

(G) Your current water-based output
=
pieces
Difference
=
pieces (J)
(J) / (G) x 100
=
% more output (k%)
Difference
:
(J)
pieces
which yields :
(K%)
more output
and a total savings of
