Operational cost cost of midine tray = $50-$75 Cost of add-on supplies = $20 Cost of one hour of labor = $50 with benefits Mileage @ 37 cents a mile = unknown Drive time to home = unknown I estimated $200 for drive time to home. mileage, cell phone costs, paperwork and documentation support in field and at office, etc It is always more when you look at the whole picture than one realizes Do the math always and never sell short Kathy
