Coin Door Assembly Cost at 110% cost allocation applied to this order: a worked example

What does the result look like when cost allocation applied to this order reaches 110%? The full calculation is worked below with real intermediate numbers. Use it when arcade builders or entertainment equipment suppliers need to quote coin-door subassemblies, payment door options, access panels, locks, and harnessing for a cabinet run.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Coin door assemblies in the order: 80 assemblies (unchanged)
  • Per-door BOM plus labor cost: 64 $ / assembly (unchanged)
  • Cost allocation applied to this order: 110 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 100)
  • Fixed coin door tooling and setup cost: 375 $ (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Variable coin door assembly cost = coin door assemblies × coin door bom and labor cost × order allocation for coin door cost) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 6,007 $ for total coin door assembly cost, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 75.09 $ / piece for coin door cost per assembly.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 5,632 $ for variable coin door assembly cost.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 375 $ for fixed coin door setup cost.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where cost allocation applied to this order sits at 100% and the headline result is 5,495 $, this scenario comes in 9.32% above the baseline at 6,007 $.
  • A figure at this level is achievable when cost allocation applied to this order is genuinely sustained, not just peaked for a shift. The allocation factor is a flat multiplier on variable cost; at 100% it passes full cost through, but it does not itself model volume discounts on the BOM, so adjust the per-door cost separately for quantity breaks.

Results at a glance

  • Total coin door assembly cost: 6,007 $ (headline result)
  • Coin door cost per assembly: 75.09 $ / piece
  • Variable coin door assembly cost: 5,632 $
  • Fixed coin door setup cost: 375 $
