The tree
Quantities are per tonne of INT-CAST70 and compound down the levels.
| Component | kg per tonne | Cost /kg | Extended |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stearic acid, triple pressed, vegetable · Stearic acid, triple pressed | 940 | $2.48 | $2.33 |
| Calcium hydroxide, technical, low iron · Lime slurry, the calcium source | 124 | $0.74 | $0.09 |
| Bought material at the bottom of every branch | 1,064 | $2.42/kg | |
| Material cost of INT-CAST70 | $2.42/kg |
A made line carries no extended cost of its own, because its cost is the sum of the lines beneath it.
