So it's not allowed to say, for example, the 1'x1' costs $5, and has 144 sq inches, which is .288 cents per sq inch. We used 100 of the 144 sq inches, which is an average cost of $3.47. Which number is the lowest acceptable?
$5.00 would be the lowest acceptable cost to place on the BoM unless you found 10" x 10" actually for sale for $3.47. No extrapolating of price per square inch or similar metrics is allowed.
