I’ve been following the latest round of Wall Street failures, and how the CEO level guys get reprimanded then handed HUGE bonuses.

This brings me to my favorite calculation for these guys, I made it up a while back under a particulary egregious case.

Dollars per Dumptruck == $6,770,646

Figured out:

Volume of Standard Dumptruck = 10 cubic yards

Cubic inches per Cubic yard (36 ^3) = 46,656

Volume of US Dollar
2.61 inches wide X 6.14 inches long X 0.0043 inches thick = 0.06890922 cubic inches

## TOTAL
((36^3) / .06890922) * 10 = $6,770,646 per dumptruck

Now you know
