Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If a machine's equipment cost is 750 rupees per hour, and its obsolescence factor for the third year is 0.10, calculate the annual obsolescence cost and explain how it would affect future operational budgets.

💡 Hint: Apply the same formula we discussed for obsolescence calculations.

Question 2

Consider a case where an operating machine shows a 0.97 productivity factor leading to increased cumulative costs over three years. How would failing to adjust for this affect the overall expense involved in machinery replacement?

💡 Hint: Think about how productivity percentages can change operational efficiency.
