Example Price Calculation

Lets assume the user is designing a product with the following options:

Photo book with 28 pages (= 2 page increments of 4 pages)
Matt paper
Black artificial leather cover with gold edges
Metal spiral binding (no upprice)

 
The total price of the product is calculated as:

(€ 25.00 + 2 * € 2.95) + (€ 1.00 + 28 * 0.01) + (€ 5.00 + € 1.00) + € 0.00 = € 38,18 (including total VAT of € 6,10, excluding shipping)

The corresponding attributes are marked purple below.
