#### Formula

1. Linear Footage: LF = (exposed sides configuration using Length & Width in inches) ÷ 12

2. Effective Cost per Linear Foot: Cost/LF = Base Material Cost/LF × Profile Multiplier × Thickness Multiplier

3. Inside Corner Surcharge: Corner Cost = Number of Corners × (Base Cost/LF × Profile Multiplier × 0.5)

4. Subtotal: Subtotal = (Cost/LF × LF) + Labor Cost + Corner Surcharge

5. Total Cost: Total = Subtotal × (1 + Markup%/100)

Profile Multipliers: Eased=1.00, Beveled=1.15, Half Bullnose=1.25, Full Bullnose=1.35, Ogee=1.60, DuPont=1.75, Laminated=1.80, Chiseled=2.00

Thickness Multipliers: 3/4"=0.90, 1"=0.95, 1-1/4"=1.00, 1-1/2"=1.10, 2"=1.25
