Factory World Formulae
Is the formula for the factory world profit-per-unit correct? The one given is:
P2bid - ((P1aAsk + p1bAsk)*8) - 15.08 = profit-per-unit
I would have expected that 8 would be a 4 because you need 20 units of each P1 to make 5 units of your P2. So, I get:
5*P2bid - (20*P1aAsk + 20*P1bAsk) - 5*15.08 = profit-per-five-units
Or, factoring out the 5:
P2bid - ((P1aAsk + P1bAsk)*4) - 15.08 = profit-per-unit
Then again, perhaps I made a mistake?
