[Histonet] Cost calculations

[Rene J Buesa]

Charles:There is the "easy way" and the "hard way" and the differences are minuscule:1- add what cost you ALL the ingredients for each aspect you want to determine2- add the salary of the people doing the task related to productivity (blocks or slides or whatever per hour)3- add-up 1 + 24- divide by the number of "units" produced.Under separate cover I am sending an article I wrote on the subject

 How does everyone calculate their cost to create things in your lab?

I was tasked to figure out how much it costs us to make the following
1. A paraffin block
2. A single H&E slide
3. Average cost of an IHC slide
4. Average cost of a Special stain slide

What I need to figure out is beside the cost on the inventory to create
these items what other factors do I need/should use to calculate final
costs (i.e. tech time, energy costs, machine maintenance....)?
