Use one accounting period and one currency. Enter non-overlapping charges actually allocated to that batch, then the actual number of accepted holes. This is an editorial arithmetic tool: included costs ÷ accepted holes. It does not estimate tool life, acceptance rate or production performance.

If a machine charge already includes labor, electricity or coolant, do not charge those items again. Record what you excluded. Blank inputs remain unresolved; enter zero only for a charge you have deliberately excluded or measured as zero.

Define the boundary
