108. A window from one of our vendors has a "List Price" of $280.00 our discount is 53% off list. What is our cost?

(100-57%)=43% (280.00x0.43)=120.4

46. What would the selling price be for a 2x8-14' where our cost is $475/mbf and our gross profit target is 18%

(2x8x14)/12 = 18.66 475/1000=0.475 18.66 x 0.475 = 8.66 100%-18% = 82% 8.66/0.82= 10.81 To understand this example further, let's look again at that truckload of studs that we paid $350/mbf (abbreviation for thousand board feet). Another way to express this is to say we paid $.35/bf for the studs. We now need to know how many board feet are in a stud? Stud length is usually less than 8 feet, but its close enough for the seller, so he charges us for 8 feet. 2" x 4" x 8' / 12 = 64/12 = 5.33 board feet To arrive at the cost, we multiply the board feet x cost/BF. 5.33 x .35 = $1.8655 or $1.87

77. How many square of shingels would you sell for a home that measure 28' x40' with a 6/12 gable roof and 1' oh for all ends?

Pitch = 1/2 Span x 6/12 = 7 Half of Span= 14 (14) squared + (7) squared = 15.65 square shingles = 2.19.13 (RF Length + 1.0 = 100sqf in 1 sqare 15.65 + 1ft oh = 16.65 16.65 x (40 + (2x 1ft) = 16.64 x 42 = 698.88 698.88 x 2sides = 1397.76 1397.76 x 1.10 waste = 1537.53 1537.53/100 = 15.375 round up 16 5 sqare Assume that we have a standard gable roof with a 6/12 pitch on a home whose outside measurements are 26' wide x 40' long and the roof has a 12" overhang on both the game and rake ends of the home. 1) The first method of estimating is to use the "Pythagorean Theorem" which states that A2+B2=C2 to find the rafter length. In this case, we know the span of the home is 13' (1/2 the run of 26'). And we know the rise (the height between the top of the top plate and the top of the ridge board) is 6" per foot of run. To solve for the rafter length (or hypotenuse of the right triangle), we would use the following formula: (13'x13')+(6"x6") = ? 169+36=205=square root of 205=14.32 Our rafter length is exactly 14.32' feet and when we add the 12" overhang it becomes 15.32'. Now that we have the rafter length, we multiply the rafter length of the home which is 42' (don't forget that we have to add the overhang on each end of the length as well). 15.32x42'=643.44 square feet Of course, that only gives us one side of the roof, so: sq. ft. x 2 = 1287 sq. ft. Now we have to factor in our waste (on gable roof it's 10% and a hip roof 25%). So: 1287sq ft x 1.10 = 1415.57 sq ft So we would sell the customer 14 1/3 squares of shingles.
