The rate that you pay to process a credit card transaction is a combination of base costs and markups called merchant discount. Think of merchant discount as the retail price of credit card processing, base costs as raw material expenses and the markup as production costs.
I divided the rehab cost by the square footage and came up with a cost per square foot for each home. The rehab ranged from 7-15 dollars per sqft for an average of $12 per sqft. For example a 1000 sqft home should cost around $12,000 on average to do a cosmetic rehab.
Rehab can be a costly proposition for many people. Even though the cost to the individual patient and his family has declined in recent years, treatment programs often reach into the thousands of dollars. In 2002, the average cost of a rehab treatment program was around $1,400. Residential treatment rates stood around $3,800, and outpatient methadone treatments cost an average of about $7,400. Some rehab facilities' inpatient treatment programs can cost into the tens of thousands of dollars.
