I'll just pull one out at random and deconstruct it backwards for you. Let's
take the thirteen week one at five thousand and five silver.

5005 / 13 weeks to make = $385

385 - cost/week $35 = $350

350 - $200 Town Wizard pay = 150

150 / $25 pay = 6 apprentices



     Of course if you move the Adjusted DX up high enough the item will always
be on time, and the actual "cost" to produce the item will be more consistent.
So to sum up; the $18,000 is book list price, the $8155.00 is the actual cost
to produce that item over 13 weeks, and now it is easy to determine the profit
made on the item. With a lower adjusted DX the cost to produce varies wildly.

     Hope that helps.
