🧮 Example Calculation
Given:
– Metal Rate = 85.50
– Weight = 10 g
– Wastage = 2%
– Making Charge = 5.00 (per g)
– Markup = 10%
Step-by-step:
Base = 85.50 × 10 = 855.00
After Wastage = 855.00 + (855 × 0.02) = 872.10
After Making = 872.10 + (5 × 10) = 922.10
Final = 922.10 + (922.10 × 0.10) = 1,014.31
yaml
Copy code
Final Price = 1,014.31
