Frequently Asked Questions
What is Cost-Per-Use (CPU)?
CPU divides total acquisition and maintenance cost by the number of times you use the item. A $200 jacket worn 400 times costs $0.50/wear, whereas a $50 jacket worn 10 times costs $5.00/wear.
Why factor in maintenance costs?
Items like boots, blenders, or electronics may require repairs, filters, or cleaning supplies that impact total lifetime cost.
