Package Scrap Value at 29% material actually recovered: a worked example

Suppose material actually recovered falls to 29%. This page works the full calculation at that level so you can see exactly which result moves and by how much. Estimates the salvage value reclaimable from scrapped advanced semiconductor packages.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Scrapped packages: 12,000 units (held at the documented default)
  • Recoverable value per package: 0.95 $/unit (held at the documented default)
  • Material actually recovered: 29 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 40)
  • Recovery processing fee: 1,500 $ (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Total = scrapped packages x recoverable value x recovery% + processing fee.
  • Total package scrap value cost works out to 4,806 $ at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Package scrap value cost per unit works out to 0.4 $ / piece at these inputs.
  • Variable package scrap value cost works out to 3,306 $ at these inputs.
  • Fixed package scrap value adder works out to 1,500 $ at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where material actually recovered sits at 40% and the headline result is 6,060 $, this scenario comes in 20.69% below the baseline at 4,806 $.
  • It computes the total net value recovered from scrapped packages and the recovered value per scrapped unit, after applying recovery yield and subtracting the processing fee. 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 package scrap value cost: 4,806 $ (headline result)
  • Package scrap value cost per unit: 0.4 $ / piece
  • Variable package scrap value cost: 3,306 $
  • Fixed package scrap value adder: 1,500 $
