Prorate sheet cost by the area used, not the whole sheet, unless leftover material is unsellable scrap.
Runtime drives electricity and machine depreciation. Slow, detailed engraves should cost more than quick score passes.
Design and file setup are real work. Divide that cost across the number of pieces that will use the file.
