Enter the cost per unit of coal ($/ton) and the total units of coal (tons) into the Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Coal Cost. 

Coal Cost Formula

COAL = CPU * U

Variables:

  • COAL is the Coal Cost ($)
  • CPU is the cost per unit of coal ($/ton)
  • U is the total units of coal (tons)

To calculate Coal Cost, multiply the cost per ton of coal by the total coal weight.

The following steps outline how to calculate the Coal Cost.

  1. First, determine the cost per unit of coal ($/ton). 
  2. Next, determine the total units of coal (tons). 
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = COAL = CPU * U.
  4. Finally, calculate the Coal Cost.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

cost per unit of coal ($/ton) = 700
