Lets say I can buy 200 of something for $20. but for $60, I can buy 750 of them. How can I quantify the money saved as cost per unit?
Lets say I can buy 200 of something for $20. but for $60, I can buy 750 of them. How can I quantify the money saved as cost per unit?
$20 / 200 items = $0.10 per item $60 / 750 items = $0.08 per item
So your savings are $0.08 - $0.10 = -$0.02 per item.
Ah, another math nerd that isn’t asking what the item is or how much it costs to ship back defective items.
There’s no such thing as mass produced items that don’t have some percentage of defects. Like, what’s the insurance policy on the items? Who pays for return shipping when defects are returned?..
There’s more to it than a pocket calculator can answer.
“That is correct, but also take into account that defect and return rates may behave differently when buying in bulk. Here’s an explanation…”
You can insert the same point in a constructive way without shitting on someone for answering correctly and helpfully.
