• Whether you work in the field of accounting
or not, the truth is whatever you do should
be accounted for. This is because the
resources you use cost you expenses
whether you become a scientist, an engineer,

product or service. These factors could
easily computed using spreadsheet programs
like Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets.
Estimating the product cost using
Microsoft Excel
Let us assume that we are going to sell milk tea with
the following information:
We will use the Microsoft Excel to find out if our
estimated sale price is reasonable considering the actual
price of the Ingredients.
1. Copy the information below:
2. Use SUM formula to get the summation of the values
from C4 to C7. The sum formula is =SUM(C4:C7). Type
this in cell 8 as shown below.
3. Check if your estimated prize will earn us profit.
Type the additional information shown below then
apply the arithmetic formula for subtraction:
4. The result is PHP 2.20. Our estimated price is not
profitable. Let us make an adjustment. Include the
information below and deduct the Total from the New
Sale Price:
5. The result is PHP 7.80. This is definitely profitable at
this price. However, this does not guarantee our
product’s success.
Result:
Thank you and God bless!
