Hi,
I am using Calc 3.4.5 on openSuSe Linux 11.2
I am working on a spreadsheet to cater for the monthly measurement of
household electricity consumption, new unit purchase and costing of used
units.
The electricity supplier gives me the first 150 units of electricity at
R1.29 per unit. The next 350 units are costed at R1.35 per unit.
Thereafter the units cost me R1.60 per unit. The monetary values per set
amount of unit changes when the electricity provider increases prices
i.e. the first 150 units might increase to R1.50 per purchased unit, the
next 350 units might be costed at R1.55 and thereafter units will cost
R2.00.
Each time I purchase electricity the units I am allocated are based on
the above sliding scale starting from 0.
How can I work out the number of units I will receive for a given
currency value i.e. R2000.00? i.e. x @ R1.29, y @ R1.35 and z @ R1.60= R2000
In addition how could I work out the value of units consumed using the
above scale?
I am assuming the R values in the scale will change over time and these
can each be averaged to calculate the cost of units used, but the
problem is still to work out the formula.
Anybody have an idea if this is possible and where to start?
I am investigating results found on Google but would appreciate a
pointer or three.
Thanks
Hylton
