Costing

[theloyal]

Hi, we are first year team and have a plan to participate in FSAE Australia.
i want to ask that cost table for materials, tollings and fasteners that are posted in the website were originally posted at 28 November 2010 and now prices of some parts have increased. like we want to purchase Damper that are given in table have 125$ unit price whereas we found that damper of 175$. Then we are surely going to loose marks in cost, so what should i have to do in this scenario..??

First off, please don't post the same question in four different threads, that just clutters up the forum.

For the cost report, the actual price that you purchase components for does not matter. If the damper that you are using is listed for $125 in current cost tables, that is the price that you should use in the cost report. You will not lose any points if the price that you pay differs from the price in the cost tables.
