Calculating the Total Charge

The total charge is calculated in the following way:

• Net Weight * Price Component 1 Rate + Calculated Taxes = Base Charge 1
• Net Weight * Price Component 2 Rate + Calculated Taxes = Base Charge 2
• Net Weight * Price Component 3 Rate + Calculated Taxes = Base Charge 3
• Base Charge 1 + Base Charge 2 + Base Charge 3 = Grand Total Base Charge

Where the Net Weight is 10 Tons for material 001 - 1/4 - 3/4 Washed Rock and no taxes are applied

• 10 * $2.50 + $0.00 = $25.00
• 10 * $.50 + $0.00 = $5.00
• 10 * $.75 + $0.00 = $7.50
• $25.00 + $5.00 + $7.50 = $37.50
