Calculating cost of servicing incremental number of users?
Discussion
Putting this is Science as there's no Maths forum. A science bod might be able to help...
Scenario:
I launch an app which costs 5p per month per user to operate.
On Day 1 it has no users.
At the end of Year 1 it has 1,200,000 users.
How much does it cost to run over Year 1, bearing in mind that the users increase gradually over the year?
Consideration:
It doesn't jump to 100k users at the end of Month 1, and 200k users at the end of Month 2, etc., so it's not a case of saying 5p x 100,000 to find out Month 1 costs as you don't have 100,000 users for all of Month 1... 200,000 users for all of Month 2... etc.
Thanks in advance!
