The formula used to calculate board feet is:
\[ \text{Total Board Feet} = \frac{\text{Length (ft)} \times \text{Width (in)} \times \text{Thickness (in)}}{12} \]
The formula used to calculate price per board foot is:
\[ \text{Price per Board Foot} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Total Board Feet}} \]
This calculator converts the dimensions of lumber in feet and inches to board feet and calculates the price per board foot based on the total cost.
Steps to calculate the price per board foot:
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{Total Board Feet} = \frac{10 \times 6 \times 2}{12} = 10 \text{ BF} \]
\[ \text{Price per Board Foot} = \frac{120}{10} = 12 \text{ USD/BF} \]
| Length (ft) | Width (in) | Thickness (in) | Total Cost ($) | Total Board Feet (BF) | Price per Board Foot ($/BF) |
