Total Cost from Price per Bushel

The Total Cost from Price per Bushel calculator computes the total cost of a volume of product based on the amount of product and the price per bushel.

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

• (V) Volume of Grain
• (P) Price per Bushel

Total Cost (T): The calculator returns the total in U.S. dollars.  However, this can be automatically converted to other currencies via the pull-down menu.

The Math / Science

The formula for the total cost based on a price per bushel is:

        `T = P * V`

where:

• T = Total Cost or sale price of the product
• V = Volume of Grain
• P = Price per Bushel

Application

Many farm products have a market value based on a price per bushel.   This includes product like:

• No. 2 Shelled Corn (e.g. $3.67 / bu)
• No. 2 Soybeans
• No. 2 Wheat

The Price per Bushel calculator can help you easily calculate the cost of 560 bushels of shelled corn at $3,67/bu, which would be $2,055.20 USD.  This calculator would then let you click next to the answer and convert the answer to different currencies (e.g. Canadian Dollars or Mexican Peso) base on a current exchange rate.
