Unit Price_regular = Price_regularQuantity_regular
Effective Bulk Unit Price = Price_bulkQuantity_bulk × (1 - Spoilage\%)
- **
- Net Annual Savings & Discount Formulas**:
Percentage Discount = ( Unit Price_reg - Unit Price_bulkUnit Price_reg ) × 100
Annual Savings = Annual Consumption × (Unit Price_reg - Effective Bulk Unit Price)
Membership Payback Packs = (\65.00) / (Savings per Bulk Pack)
