[DIYbio] Sanger sequencing DNA/primer amounts -- how and why?

I'm trying to learn more about the sanger sequencing machine we have. I have been trying to understand how the "sample submission" guidelines for plasmids/PCRs work. Is there a formula for how much template to use and how is it calculated?

For example, Genewiz says that for plasmids, you do: (10ng/ul)*(template length in kb). For PCR, its (2ng/ul)*(template length in kb). How did they come up with those numbers?

By the time you guys reply, I'm sure I'll have a better understanding of how this works. Thanks
