Cost Per Repaired Unit at 58% repair scope included: a worked example

Suppose repair scope included falls to 58%. This page works the full calculation at that level so you can see exactly which result moves and by how much. Estimate total and per-unit cost for depot repairs after labor, parts, test, freight, overhead, and fixed support costs are applied.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Repaired units in estimate: 100 units (held at the documented default)
  • Variable cost per repaired unit: 45 $ / unit (held at the documented default)
  • Repair scope included: 58 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 80)
  • Fixed depot support cost: 250 $ (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Variable repair cost = repaired units in estimate × variable cost per repaired unit × repair scope included.
  • Total repaired-unit cost works out to 2,860 $ at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Cost per repaired unit works out to 28.6 $ / piece at these inputs.
  • Variable repair cost works out to 2,610 $ at these inputs.
  • Fixed depot support cost works out to 250 $ at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where repair scope included sits at 80% and the headline result is 3,850 $, this scenario comes in 25.71% below the baseline at 2,860 $.
  • It computes the total cost to repair a batch of units and the resulting average cost per repaired unit, combining variable per-unit cost scaled by the share of units actually in scope plus fixed depot support cost. When the numbers land here, the stressed input is the lever to work; the walkthrough above shows exactly how much each output recovers as it climbs back toward the baseline.

Results at a glance

  • Total repaired-unit cost: 2,860 $ (headline result)
  • Cost per repaired unit: 28.6 $ / piece
  • Variable repair cost: 2,610 $
  • Fixed depot support cost: 250 $
