Calculation method
Calculation method
Deposits collected (USD)
Issued and returned bottle counts × deposit rate; returned cannot exceed issued.
Deposits refunded (USD)
Issued and returned bottle counts × deposit rate; returned cannot exceed issued.
Outstanding deposit liability (USD)
Issued and returned bottle counts × deposit rate; returned cannot exceed issued.
Symbols and units
- a
- Bottles issued (count)
- b
- Bottles returned (count)
- c
- Deposit per bottle (USD)
Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.
Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- User-supplied measurements and assumptions; Issued and returned bottle counts × deposit rate; returned cannot exceed issued. Supported limits: Finite numeric values bounded to 1e9 magnitude; lists and tables contain 1–100 records unless a stricter bound is stated. Inputs use the units shown. Lists explicitly paired by a method must have matching lengths; independent polynomial coefficient vectors may differ. Respect stated physical, interpolation, policy and computational domain limits.
