Book Price Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Book Price (BP) is:

\[ BP = \frac{CPP \times P}{1 - \frac{RM}{100}} \]

Where:

$BP$ is the Book Price (\$)
$CPP$ is the cost per page (\$/page)
$P$ is the number of pages
$RM$ is the required margin on sale (%)

What is Book Price?

The Book Price is the selling price of a book calculated based on the cost per page, the total number of pages, and the required profit margin. It ensures that the selling price covers the cost of production and includes a specified margin to ensure profitability.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Cost per Page (CPP) = $0.05 per page
Number of Pages (P) = 200
Required Margin on Sale (RM) = 20%

Using the formula to calculate the Book Price (BP):

\[ BP = \frac{CPP \times P}{1 - \frac{RM}{100}} = \frac{0.05 \times 200}{1 - \frac{20}{100}} = \frac{10}{0.8} = 12.50 \text{ dollars} \]

The Book Price (BP) is \$12.50.
