Just to clarify, I'm not looking to start the "to flat rate, not to flat rate" discussion here. There are many good reasons to do it for particular business plans. I see the wisdom in it from first hand experience. If any of you want to rehash those views, please start a different thread. I promise I'll contribute.

Also, I'm not asking how to figure up a price on the example above.... I'm asking more specifically how to do it using a flat rate book. I'm interested in the day to day technique and the different variations people have to them. It's more about using the book than figuring the job.
