Can someone explain this:

This is using sell prices on the regional market.

Quite a disparity between mat prices and the typical price of the end product.

EDIT:

Much better now.

The explanation is that your math is wrong.

This is almost always the explanation for "Halp these numbers don't make sense!" posts in S&I.

In this case, you've calculated the costs of 1000 manufacturing runs - not the cost of 1000 fuel blocks. Fuel blocks are produced 40 at a time.

I admit I am not the best at making spreadsheets but unless you are simply trolling - where do you see an error? It's simple multiplying by 1000 in the example and then summing the totals.

The sell order prices are pretty representative if you check EVE Central.

The output is 40,000 fuel blocks, not 1000.

What he is saying, is that on the blueprint bill of materials it lists a specific quantity of materials. That list is good for 1 run of fuel blocks. 1 run of fuel blocks actually produces 40 individual fuel blocks. So while you have # of fuel blocks at 1000, you have the materials for 1000 runs.

AH YES. OK it is 40 per run, missed that on the BP. Oops

Thanks for your help.

Which at your prices there seems to not be profitable still. Based on your math your getting 40m or so in profit.
