Try these first

1. 1.

   What is the downtime cost per hour when the equipment cost is 900 rupees?

   Hint

   Use 3% of the equipment cost.

2. 2.

   How many operating hours are in a year?

   Hint

   Consider typical working conditions for machinery.

3. 3.

   What is the downtime cost for the first year?

   • 54,000 rupees
