Power Stone Price

Please if some on cam help, I will be glad.

In the GURPS Magic, p.20, we find a equasion to calculate the cost of a powerstone.

The material cost is calculate like this:
(10xP²)+(40xP) | Where P is the powrstone capacity of the powerstone.

The labor cost is 20xP

Ai meke the calculations for every stone in the table, and just the first one is correct. The other ar wrong, at start with a small diference, as de2 pt Powerstone, the cost in the book is 165, but if we use the formulas we find 160. Until the 6x more expensive in the last on (100), the cost in the book is 675.000, and if we use the formula that results in 106.000.

Just tu make a exemple, lats get de 50 Energy point stone.

Material
(10xP²)+(40xP)= $
(10x50²)+(40x50)= $
(10x2500)+(2000)= $
(25000)+(2000)= $
$=27.000

Labor
20xP=$
20x50=$
$=1000

Material+Labor=
27.000+1000=28.000

Total 28.000 => cost in the book 69.5000!

Do someone knows what happens? Am I doing something wrong?
