Hello!

Our firm is advertising for 2 different groups at the same time. 1 group has a potential for 3 different ads and the other has 2. Ads can overlap during the day and when they do, the expense is split evenly, but only for the 1st overlap. any remaining overlap is solely the responsibility of that group For example. Group 1 has ads 1,2,3. Group 2 has ads 4,5.

#'s are simplified
If only 1 group is running an ad during that hour its $12. Each additional ad is $2/hour.
If group 1 and group 2 are running 1 ad each then the total is $14, but divided by $2. ($6/ per hour each)

However, if Group 2 is also running a second ad then their total for the hour would be the $6/hour + an additional $2 while group 1 stays at $6/hr. Each additional ad for the group does not get divided and split with the other group.

I guess I didn't really put what I was trying to achieve! I would like to create a total cost per group based on how many ads are running.
