You are tasked with preparing a bid for a construction project. You must account for a piece of machinery costing $100,000, with a salvage value of $20,000, an expected useful life of 5 years, insurance costs of 2%, tax costs of 2.5%, and storage costs of 1%. Calculate the total ownership cost.
💡 Hint: Break down your calculation into parts for clarity.
A contractor is assessing the ownership cost of two machines. Machine A has an initial cost of $50,000 and a salvage value of $10,000 with a useful life of 10 years.
