Source code for NuPack Price Estimator API
NuPack is responsible for taking existing products and repackaging them for sale at electronic
stores like FutureShop and Best Buy. Companies will phone up NuPack, explain the process
and NuPack needs to quickly give them an estimate of how much it will cost. Different markups
to the job:
● Without Exception, there is a flat markup on all jobs of 5%
● For each person that needs to work on the job, there is a markup of 1.2%
● Markups are also added depending on the types of materials involved:
○ If pharmaceuticals are involved, there is an immediate 7.5% markup
○ For food, there is a 13% markup
○ Electronics require a 2% markup
○ everything else, there is no markup
Another system calculates the base price depending on how many products need to be
repackaged. As such, the markup calculator should accept the initial base price along with the
different categories of markups and calculate a final cost for a project.
The flat markup is calculated first and then all other markups are calculated on top of the base
price plus flat markup.
