114 is the example result. Read it using the units and relationship stated below.
Landed Cost per Unit uses total landed cost, units imported.
Protecting contribution before accepting a price
For landed cost per unit, the relationship is Result = (([Total landed cost]) ÷ ([Units imported])). The amount depends on the supplied total landed cost, units imported, rather than a live market price or a value imported from another record. A quote can meet a revenue target and still leave too little to cover delivery. Separate the selling-price denominator from the cost denominator: margin and markup answer different questions. A discount changes contribution even when the supplier cost stays fixed.
What the model includes
Result = (([Total landed cost]) ÷ ([Units imported])) A pricing review should retain the supplier cost, sale price and the reason for any allowance. Returns, payment charges, delivery and tax require explicit treatment; they should not disappear inside a percentage labelled profit. Compare the proposed price with the customer agreement and delivery capacity. A mathematically achievable margin does not establish that buyers will accept the offer.
Example with the supplied inputs
Total landed cost: 114000; Units imported: 1000. Result: 114. The values are illustrative.
Compare one changed input
Total landed cost changes from 114000 to 125400. The result becomes 125.4. All other inputs remain fixed.
Calculation rule
Result = (([Total landed cost]) ÷ ([Units imported]))
Inputs and output
| Input | Example value | Entry convention |
|---|---|---|
| Total landed cost | 114000 | Use total landed cost on the currency and period basis shown by the formula. Keep gross amounts, net amounts and unit amounts distinct; the page does not fetch a price or exchange rate. |
| Units imported | 1000 | Use the source quantity represented by units imported. Keep the counted population fixed and avoid mixing a unit value with a period total. |
Output: 114 is the example result. Read it using the units and relationship stated below. Use the formula to distinguish a cash amount, count, percentage or ratio.
How to use the page
Collect the inputs
Gather Total landed cost, Units imported. Use one period and the units shown in the form.
Run the calculation
Enter the values and select the action. The calculation rule above explains how the inputs produce the result.
Compare a scenario
Change Total landed cost on its own, keeping the other inputs fixed. Read both results before changing another assumption.
Worked example
With the example inputs listed above, the result is 114.
Change Total landed cost from 114000 to 125400 while keeping every other value fixed. The result becomes 125.4. This comparison isolates that input; it does not forecast how other variables will respond.
Check the stated formula, units and limits before using the result in a decision.
