Downtime cost is revenue not moved multiplied by contribution margin, plus any replacement unit cost, across every affected unit and every day off the road. Using margin rather than gross revenue matters, because gross overstates the loss and produces a number nobody in finance will accept.

Gross revenue not moved: $5,100
Margin lost: $1,122
Replacement unit cost: $0
True downtime cost: $1,122

This is the number that usually decides whether a repair is worth bundling into one visit. Margin is used rather than gross revenue because gross overstates the loss. Replacement cost is added on top since it is a real cash outlay rather than opportunity cost.
