Formula, as published
Total apportionment of shared Effective Costs / Total shared Effective costs
- Data sources:
- CSP Billing Data Internal Finance Metrics
- Example:
- ACME Global Limited shared effective cost for the month of July was $200,000 on cloud monitoring tools, security tools, cloud costs management tools, CSP (Cloud Service Provider) Premium Support Fees. ACME Global Limited has 4 Cost centers/Product/Department, so the fixed percentage is 25%. Finance = 25% x $200,000 = $50,000 Logistics = 25% x $200,000 = $50,000 Commercial = 25% x $200,000 = $50,000 Marketing = 25% x $200,000 = $50,000 = ($50,000 +$50,000+$50,000 +$50,000) / $200,000 x 100 = 100%
