**Net Revenue = Gross Value - Broker Fee - Verification Cost**
### Market Prices

Exemplo Resolvido
A project generates 500 credits at $30 each, with $5,000 verification and 10% broker fee.
- Gross value: 500 * $30 = $15,000
- Broker fee: $15,000 * 10% = $1,500
- Total costs: $1,500 + $5,000 = $6,500
- Net revenue: $15,000 - $6,500 = $8,500
- Net per credit: $8,500 / 500 = $17.00/ton
