Uniform Annual Cost Calculation
Unlock Audio Lesson
Today, we will explore how to calculate the equivalent uniform annual cost using the initial cost of machinery. Can anyone remind me what the uniform series capital recovery factor formula looks like?
Isn't it something like I multiplied by (1+i)^n divided by (1+i)^n minus 1?
Exactly! And in this case, we apply an interest rate of 8% and a projected lifespan of 12.5 years. So let's calculate the annualized initial cost. Who can help with the math?
Using that formula, I think it comes out to ₹37,41,844.41 per year!
Good job! This conversion is crucial for understanding ongoing costs. Remember, we call this the annualized initial cost.
Salvage Value Calculation

Now we will look at the salvage value. What do you think is the next step to convert this into an annual cost?
We need to use the sinking fund factor, right?
Exactly! The formula is i divided by (1+i)^n minus 1 multiplied by the salvage value. Can someone calculate the annualized salvage value?
Using the formula with a salvage percentage of 20%, I got ₹2,85,968.88 per year!
Well done! This amount contributes significantly to our overall cost evaluation.
Hourly Depreciation
Unlock Audio Lesson
Now let's discuss how to find the hourly depreciation. What information do we need to compute this?
We need the annualized initial cost and the annualized salvage value, right?
Correct! We subtract the annualized salvage value from the annualized initial cost and then divide by the annual usage in hours. So who can calculate that for 1600 hours of usage?
I did the math, and I got ₹2,159.92 per hour for the depreciation!
Perfect! This is essential for understanding how machinery value decreases over time.
Calculating Operating Costs
Unlock Audio Lesson
In addition to depreciation, we have other ownership costs such as taxes and insurance. What is the next step to find the total ownership cost?
We need to calculate the insurance cost as a percentage of the initial cost, then sum them up, right?
That's right! The insurance cost was calculated to be ₹361.25 per hour. Let's also calculate the tax cost!
I calculated the taxes to be ₹541.88 per hour.
Excellent! So, what do we get when we add everything up for total hourly ownership cost?
The total comes to ₹3063.05 per hour.

The initial cost is converted into equivalent uniform annual cost, annualized cost we call it as annualized initial cost using uniform series capital recovery factor. So the initial cost is nothing but your ₹2,89,00,000 multiplied by the uniform series capital recovery factor which is nothing but i into (1 + i)^n / [(1 + i)^n - 1]. The interest rate is 8 percent and n is 12.5 years. So you can get the annualized initial cost as ₹37,41,844.41 per year.
Detailed Explanation
To calculate the equivalent uniform annual cost, we take the initial cost of an investment and convert it into a series of equal yearly payments. This is done using the uniform series capital recovery factor formula, where 'i' is the interest rate (8%) and 'n' is the lifespan (12.5 years). By plugging in the numbers into the formula, we find that the annualized cost is ₹37,41,844.41. This means that treating a one-time capital investment like a loan, the annual payment needed to cover this cost at an 8% interest rate over 12.5 years is approximately ₹37.4 lakh.
Examples & Analogies
Think of it like buying a car. You might pay ₹2,89,00,000 upfront, but if you take a loan and pay it off with interest over a number of years, you’ll actually be paying a certain amount each year. For budgeting, it's much easier to think about how much you need to set aside yearly than to remember the total upfront cost.
Salvage Value Calculation

Now I need to convert the future salvage value into equivalent uniform annual cost. The equivalent uniform annual cost of salvage value = Salvage value × [i / ((1 + i)^n - 1)]. Salvage value is 20% of the initial cost. Here, Salvage value = 0.2 × ₹2,89,00,000 = ₹57,80,000.
Detailed Explanation
Salvage value is what you expect to get from the asset at the end of its useful life. In this case, it is assumed to be 20% of the initial cost, which is stipulated as ₹57,80,000. To convert this future amount into an equivalent annual cash flow, we again use a derived formula similar to the one used for the annual cost, allowing us to perceive the future value in today's terms. By substituting values, we find the annualized salvage value to be approximately ₹2,85,968.88.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine selling an old car after several years; even if it depreciates, you will gain some money from the sale. You can think of the car’s resale value as salvation money that you can count on years from now, and by allocating a portion of this amount to your yearly budget, you can better prepare for future expenses.
Hourly Depreciation Calculation

Hourly depreciation = (Annualized initial cost - Annualized salvage value) / Annual use in hours. So, hourly depreciation = (₹37,41,844.41 - ₹2,85,968.88) / 1600 = ₹2159.92/hour.
Detailed Explanation
Hourly depreciation provides insight into how much value the asset loses per hour of operation. It is derived by taking the difference between the annualized costs (initial cost and salvage value) and dividing that by the total operational hours in a year (1600 hours). This equates to an hourly loss of value of ₹2159.92, representing the wear and tear of the equipment over time.
Examples & Analogies
Think of it like a subscription service; if you pay ₹5000 a year for a service that you used for 1600 hours, you're effectively using about ₹3.12 of that service each hour you use it. Similarly, the equipment's hourly depreciation gives you an idea of how much value it loses as you use it.
Ownership Costs Components

Other components of the ownership cost such as insurance, taxes, and maintenance are calculated as a percentage of the initial cost minus the tire cost. For example, insurance is 2% of the adjusted initial cost divided by annual usage, yielding an hourly insurance cost of ₹361.25/hour.
Detailed Explanation
To calculate ownership costs, several factors must be considered—insurance, taxes, and so forth. Insurance is calculated as a small percentage of the equipment's value (in this case, 2%), divided by its operational hours (1600 hours), resulting in an hourly cost of ₹361.25. This systematic approach helps track how other lagging expenses can accumulate over time, impacting overall operational costs.
Examples & Analogies
Just like insuring your car—where your annual premium is calculated based on the car's value—here, equipment ownership costs take a similar approach. It's smart to account for such components in your budgeting to avoid surprises.
Total Hourly Ownership and Operating Costs

The total hourly ownership cost combines depreciation, insurance, and taxes: ₹2159.92 + ₹361.25 + ₹541.88 = ₹3063.05/hour. Adding operator wages makes the total operating cost ₹5759.20/hour.
Detailed Explanation
To finalize the cost of operating the equipment, we sum all the various components we calculated earlier, resulting in a total hourly ownership cost of ₹3063.05. Including the operator's wages of ₹200/hour brings the total cost of utilizing the equipment to ₹5759.20/hour. This comprehensive overview is essential for laying out the expense base for efficient operations and resource allocation.
Examples & Analogies
You can think about this like costing every minute of your time when running a business: if you calculate all your expenditures, such as the rent, utilities, and employee wages, you can determine how much every hour of operation is costing you, ensuring you're aware of when to scale back or invest more.

There are different methods to estimate equipment costs, such as the Caterpillar method, which is based on average annual investments, while the time value concept method provides a more accurate estimate. The choice of method often reflects a company’s internal policies.
Detailed Explanation
Different methods for estimating equipment costs can yield various results, where the Caterpillar approach approximates costs based on average annual investments, while considering the time value method factors in cash flows and gives more substantial estimates. Companies have the liberty to select the estimation method that aligns best with their organizational policies and requirements, aiming for accuracy in financial planning.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine choosing different budgeting strategies for a vacation; some might prefer estimating costs based on average expenditures (Caterpillar method), while others may calculate the present value of future savings to invest today (time value method). Just like budgeting, companies select estimation methods based on their perception, accuracy needs, and operational strategy.
