I would like to calculate price including risks. The problem is that I would like to avoid circular reference. Is there any way to avoid enabling "iterative calculation"?
Basically I need to calculate Price in B9 and it is =(B1+B4)/(1-B7)
where B4 is =B9*B2

Result with iterative calculation" enabled:

excel excel-formula formula

Short of using vba or the solver, there is no method to do this without circular references.

Solver is not an option because installation of plugins is not allowed. What could be VBA solution?

Your logic in calculating risk is incorrect. Risk cost calculations are generally calculated directly from costs before sales margins are added. If your formula in B4=B1*B2, the price is calculated correctly. Your total price comes out to be $1,262.50. Anytime you run into a circular reference situation, it's your calculation logic that's off, not the formulas.

No matter the economical method you're using to calculate the risk (I'm not an economist), without the help of the Solver or VBA, the only way to do this is constructing an iterations table. The more expanded the table is, the more exact the solution will be...

Just place:
On cell D5: =($A2+D4)/(1-$A6)
On cell E4: =$A4*D5
and drag the formulas to the end of the table (horizontally).
