How is material cost per part calculated in sheet metalworking analyses in DFM Concurrent Costing?

The material cost per part is calculated by first determining the cost of all material used during manufacture of the part. For sheet metalworking, this material cost includes the material in the finished part, the material in the skeleton surrounding the part, and the material within any rejected parts and their surrounding skeletons. This cost is then adjusted to account for the value of scrap material in the part's skeleton as well as the value of scrap material in any rejected parts and their skeletons.
