I'm not certain that I get the gist of your share_costs ()
function, but why not just something functional along the
lines of:

| tim=# SELECT G.A, TRUNC(90.0 / 7, 2) +
| tim-#             CASE
| tim-#               WHEN ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY G.A) <= 100 * (90 - 7 * TRUNC(90.0 / 7, 2)) THEN
| tim-#                 0.01
| tim-#               ELSE
| tim-#                 0.00
| tim-#               END
| tim-#   FROM generate_series(1, 7) AS G(A);
|  a | ?column?
