How is the Total Ingredient Cost calculated?
A Total Ingredient Cost is calculated by the the quantity of the ingredients used in the product, and the cost. The cost depends on your stock levels.
Example
Each individual ingredient's cost will be evaluated this way, then summed up in the Total Ingredient Cost.
