**Problem 5: Cost per Piece in Additive Manufacturing**

The cost of the stereolithography machine is $60,000 installed. It operates 5 days per week, 8 hours per day, 50 weeks per year, and is expected to last 5 years. Material cost for the photopolymer is $150 per liter. Assume that all of the photopolymer in the container that is not used for the part can be reused. Labor rate is $25.00 per hour, but labor will be used for only 30% of the build cycle, mostly for setup. The post-processing time is 5.0 minutes per part. Using the cycle time of 3.27849 hours, determine the cost for a part with a volume of 22,564 mm³.

**Please show steps clearly for understanding.**

**Formula:**

\[ C_{pc} = C_m + (C_L U_L + C_{eq})T_c + C_L T_{pp} \]
