Build panel selling price from material cost plus edgeband, overhead and margin

Work out a panel combo's selling price by adding material, edgeband, overhead and margin costs.

1. To arrive at a panel combo's selling price, add the per-SFT costs of the external finish, the core ply/board and the inner laminate.

2. Then add an edgeband allowance converted to a per-SFT rate.

3. Edgeband is bought in running feet but the template needs a surface-area rate, so estimate it from the smallest panel size (e.g. all four sides banded on a small panel) and divide by that panel's area.

4. Add any manufacturing overhead percentage and the desired profit margin on top.

5. The resulting price is exclusive of GST.
