Coin Door Assembly Cost at 72% cost allocation applied to this order: a worked example

Suppose cost allocation applied to this order falls to 72%. This page works the full calculation at that level so you can see exactly which result moves and by how much. Estimate the cost of coin door, bill acceptor, card reader, lock, hinge, latch, wiring, and security hardware assemblies for arcade and amusement cabinets.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Coin door assemblies in the order: 80 assemblies (held at the documented default)
  • Per-door BOM plus labor cost: 64 $ / assembly (held at the documented default)
  • Cost allocation applied to this order: 72 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 100)
  • Fixed coin door tooling and setup cost: 375 $ (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Variable coin door assembly cost = coin door assemblies × coin door bom and labor cost × order allocation for coin door cost.
  • Total coin door assembly cost works out to 4,061 $ at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Coin door cost per assembly works out to 50.77 $ / piece at these inputs.
  • Variable coin door assembly cost works out to 3,686 $ at these inputs.
  • Fixed coin door setup cost works out to 375 $ at these inputs.

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 26.09% below the baseline at 4,061 $.
  • It computes total coin door assembly cost as allocated variable cost plus fixed setup, and the resulting cost per assembly. 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 coin door assembly cost: 4,061 $ (headline result)
  • Coin door cost per assembly: 50.77 $ / piece
  • Variable coin door assembly cost: 3,686 $
  • Fixed coin door setup cost: 375 $
