Calculate an illustrative cost per answered question

A cost-per-answer calculation needs a declared cost scope and a count of qualifying answers, with illustrative figures clearly separated from actual results.

A practical procedure

1. Choose which costs are included, such as preparation labour, production time and measured service charges.

2. Count answers using a consistent eligibility rule and identify whether review costs are included.

3. Divide included cost by qualifying answers and show both inputs beside the result.

Worked example: a fictional session

In a fictional example, RM60 of defined costs supports 30 qualifying answers, giving RM2 per answer under that particular cost scope.

Check the limits

The figure is not an Aseacast price, and changing the cost scope changes the result.
