If you buy a 10' long piece of steel but only use 2' than divide the 10' piece price by 5 to get the correct BOM price.
Wayne, the example 10' long piece has to be counted as 10' for cost accounting unless the same stuff is available in 2' lengths. It's prorated on smallest available commercial quantity (that works...), not on how much you use. The example given in the rulebook is a 10" x 10" piece of material, cut from an 4' by ??' sheet, but available commercially in 1' by 1' sheets.

(Sorry, I'm not Al...)
