MANAGEMENT APPARATUS AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM
A management apparatus includes a first setting unit, a second setting unit, and a calculation unit. The first setting unit sets a unit price to be charged per unit usage amount for a material used in a forming apparatus. The second setting unit sets, for the material, a basic fee to be charged regardless of a usage amount. The calculation unit calculates a cost to be charged for use of the material by using the unit price and the basic fee.
1 . A management apparatus comprising:
a first setting unit that sets a unit price to be charged per unit usage amount for a material used in a forming apparatus;
a second setting unit that sets, for the material, a basic fee to be charged regardless of a usage amount; and
a calculation unit that calculates a cost to be charged for use of the material by using the unit price and the basic fee.
2 . The management apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the first setting unit is capable of setting unit prices that are respectively associated with a plurality of ranges of the usage amount of the material,
3 . The management apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein
among the unit prices respectively associated with the plurality of ranges, a unit price associated with a range that corresponds to a larger usage amount of the material is made lower.
4 . The management apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising
a setting memory that stores a management table, the management table including the unit price and the basic fee that are set for each type of the material and further including a unit price to be charged per unit usage amount of a recording material used in a print apparatus, the unit price of the recording material being set as a unit price of one type of the material, wherein
the calculation unit calculates both the cost to be charged for use of the material and a cost to be charged for use of the recording material by using a single calculation formula.
5 . The management apparatus according to claim 2 , further comprising
a setting memory that stores a management table, the management table including the unit price and the basic fee that are set for each type of the material and further including a unit price to be charged per unit usage amount of a recording material used in a print apparatus, the unit price of the recording material being set as a unit price of one type of the material, wherein
the calculation unit calculates both the cost to be charged for use of the material and a cost to be charged for use of the recording material by using a single calculation formula.
6 . The management apparatus according to claim 3 , further comprising
a setting memory that stores a management table, the management table including the unit price and the basic fee that are set for each type of the material and further including a unit price to be charged per unit usage amount of a recording material used in a print apparatus, the unit price of the recording material being set as a unit price of one type of the material, wherein
the calculation unit calculates both the cost to be charged for use of the material and a cost to be charged for use of the recording material by using a single calculation formula.
7 . The management apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein
for the recording material, the basic fee is set to zero.
8 . The management apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein
for the recording material, the basic fee is set to zero.
9 . The management apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein
for the recording material, the basic fee is set to zero.
10 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for management, the process comprising:
setting a unit price to be charged per unit usage amount for a material used in a forming apparatus;
setting, for the material, a basic fee to be charged regardless of a usage amount; and
calculating a cost to be charged for use of the material by using the unit price and the basic fee.
