1.3. Cumulative Downtime Cost

Try these first

1. 1.

   Calculate the downtime cost per hour for an equipment cost of 900 rupees.

   Hint

   Use the formula Downtime Cost = (Percentage × Equipment Cost) / 100.

2. 2.

   How much is the yearly downtime cost for operating 2000 hours at a downtime cost of 27 rupees?

   Hint

   Multiply the downtime cost per hour by the number of operational hours.

3. 3.

   What is the initial downtime cost per hour for equipment costing 900 rupees?

   • 27 rupees
   • 30 rupees
   • 54 rupees

   Hint

   Recall the formula for downtime cost.

4. 4.

   True or False: A higher obsolescence cost means increased efficiency of old equipment.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider how efficiency impacts costs.

5. 5.

   A piece of machinery has an equipment cost of 800 rupees. If the downtime percentage is projected to rise to 8% after 3 years, calculate the estimated downtime cost per hour and year at that rate. How will it change the cumulative costs?

   Hint

   Use the same calculation strategies as before.

6. 6.

   Using the data provided for the last three years, construct a table that summarizes the cumulative downtime cost for each year and potential implications for future financial planning.

   Hint

   This task focuses on summarizing previous calculations into a more visual format.
