calculating the cost is to identify the materials that are expensive and try to reduce the price. By calculating the cost, I had to illustrate the percentage of each materials and modules in a pie chart to show which of the materials and modules contribute the most in terms of the UAV production cost. The UAV consists of 5 modules; fuselage, rotor arm, secondary payload, landing gear and battery. Each of the modules has a list of materials used for assembly. I had to calculate the materials…
