Consider the following type of charge matrix defined:

Table E-1 Tiered and Non Tiered Usage Calculation

Rate Chart From Units To Units
Base 0 1
Base 30 2
Base 75 3
Cycle Excess 0 4
Cycle Excess 50 5
Life Excess 0 6
Life Excess 50 7

On receiving the following type of usage data from customer, the chargeable units are derived based on lapse and rollover rules. The chargeable units are charged based on Tiered and Non Tiered preference indicated for a collateral. The sample usage calculation is as indicated below:

Base Units:76, Cycle Excess:51, and Life Excess=65

Tiered Calculation

Base Charge = (29*1)+(45*2)+(2*3) = 125

Cycle Excess Charge=(49*4)+(2*5)=206

Life Excess Charge=(49*6)+(16*7)=406

Total Charge=125+206+406=737

Non Tiered Calculation

Base Charge =(76*3) = 228

Cycle Excess Charge=(51*5)=255

Life Excess Charge=(65*7)=455

Total Charge=228+255+455=938
