Hmm, this discussion actually made me realize I’ve been miscounting a cost for 6 years!

Our local metal dealer sells remnants of sheets of aluminum, before now I’ve been just counting the cost I buy those remnants at. I did this because the shop will sell you any amount you want with a cut fee, however since we are a high school they have always waived the cut fee (We usually ask them to cut our 21 foot beams down to 7 foot beams to transport them).

So even though we are buying remnants of aluminum from their cut off shop, we should count the cost of cutting the remnant, even though the person who caused the remnant to be left over paid the cutting cost.
