You're missing the distinction between an object and a scalar value.
'valueForKey' returns an object (presumably a NSNumber), but '/' needs scalars.
So, you need something along this line:
NSNumber* price = [Product valueForKey:@"UOMcost"];
NSNumber* uom = [Product valueForKey:@"purchaseUOM"];
double result = [uom doubleValue] / [price doubleValue];
NSNumber* cost = [NSNumber numberWithDouble: result];
[Product setValue: cost for Key: ...];
Incidentally, if you're dealing with currency, it's better to use integers (the
number of cents, rather than the number of dollars, essentially) rather than
floating point.
