Depreciation Calculation

This section elaborates on how to calculate the depreciation of machinery and equipment through several calculations such as converting initial costs into equivalent uniform annual costs and evaluating salvage values.

Key Concepts:

  1. Initial Cost (IC): This represents the upfront expenditure for acquiring a machine or asset, which is $2,89,00,000 in this case.
  2. Annualized Initial Cost: Using the formula for uniform series capital recovery factor, the annualized cost is derived, factoring in interest rate ($8 ext{%}$) over the machine's useful life (12.5 years). The final annualized initial cost calculates to ₹ 37,41,844.41.
  3. Salvage Value (SV): The future worth of an asset after its life, translated into uniform costs annually. In this example, it's calculated to be ₹ 2,85,968.88 per year.
  4. Hourly Depreciation: This is computed as the difference between the annualized initial cost and annualized salvage value divided by annual hours of operation (1600 hours), resulting in ₹ 2159.92 per hour.
  5. Additional Costs: Other ownership costs like insurance, taxes, and consumables are calculated as percentages of the initial cost minus the tire cost, leading to a total ownership cost estimation of ₹ 3063.05 per hour.

In summary, this section is vital for understanding equipment cost estimation and depreciation, foundational for accurate budgeting and financial forecasting in business operations.

Annualized Initial Cost

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.

Detailed Explanation

To convert the initial cost of an asset into an annual cost, we use a formula called the uniform series capital recovery factor. This factor takes into account the initial investment amount, interest rate, and the lifespan of the asset. For example, if the initial cost is ₹2,89,00,000, and the interest rate is 8% with a lifespan of 12.5 years, the annualized initial cost can be calculated. The formula used is:

\[ 𝐸𝑞𝑢𝑖𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑡 ext{ Annual Cost} = \text{Initial Cost} \times \frac{i(1+i)^n}{(1+i)^n - 1} \]

This results in an annual cost of ₹37,41,844.41.

Examples & Analogies

Imagine you buy a car for ₹2,89,00,000. Instead of thinking about this as a one-time purchase, you could think about how much that car 'costs' you each year. Using the formula helps you spread the cost over the years you'll use it and take into account the interest you'd be paying if you financed it.

Salvage Value Calculation

Now I need to convert the future salvage value into equivalent uniform annual cost using uniform series sinking fund factor.

Detailed Explanation

The salvage value of an asset is the estimated residual value at the end of its useful life. To find its equivalent annual cost, we use the sinking fund factor formula, which is:

\[ 𝐸𝑞𝑢𝑖𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑡 ext{ Annual Salvage Cost} = \text{Salvage Value} \times \frac{i}{(1+i)^n - 1} \]

If the salvage value is 20% of the initial cost of the asset, it can be calculated and annualized similarly to the initial cost. For instance, this calculation results in an annualized salvage value of ₹2,85,968.88.

Examples & Analogies

Think of when you sell an old appliance. You might sell it for a lower price than what you paid. This 'salvage value' can be thought of in a way like a trade-in value on a car. Understanding its annualized value helps you to see how much you gain from it each year as you use the appliance.

Calculating Hourly Depreciation

Unlock Audio Book

Hourly depreciation is calculated as the difference between the annualized initial cost and the annualized salvage value divided by the annual use of the machine in hours.

Detailed Explanation

To determine how much value an asset loses per hour of usage, start by calculating the depreciation:

\[ \text{Hourly Depreciation} = \frac{ \text{Annualized Initial Cost} - \text{Annualized Salvage Value} }{\text{Annual Usage Hours}} \]

For this example, with an annualized initial cost of ₹37,41,844.41 and an annualized salvage value of ₹2,85,968.88, if the machine is used for 1600 hours a year, the hourly depreciation comes to ₹2,159.92.

Examples & Analogies

Imagine you're using a rental bike. Each time you ride, the bike loses a little value. If you ride for hours and know how much the bike costs, you can calculate how much it 'depreciates' each hour of use.

Ownership Costs: Insurance and Taxes

Other components of the ownership cost, such as insurance and taxes, are calculated as a percentage of the initial cost minus the tire cost.

Detailed Explanation

Insurance and tax costs associated with the asset are often calculated as a percentage of its initial cost, which in this case is 2% for insurance and 3% for taxes. These costs are then divided by the annual usage to find the hourly equivalents:

\[ \text{Insurance} = \frac{2\% \times (\text{Initial Cost} -\text{Tire Cost})}{\text{Annual Usage in Hours}} \]

\[ \text{Taxes} = \frac{3\% \times (\text{Initial Cost} -\text{Tire Cost})}{\text{Annual Usage in Hours}} \]

This results in insurance of ₹361.25/hour and taxes of ₹541.88/hour.

Examples & Analogies

Just like you pay for insurance and taxes on your house or car, you also have similar costs for equipment. By understanding and splitting these costs into hourly rates, it’s easier to see how much you’re truly spending.

Total Hourly Ownership Cost

Now, calculating the total hourly ownership cost involves adding hourly depreciation, insurance, and taxes together.

Detailed Explanation

Total hourly ownership cost aggregates all costs including hourly depreciation, insurance, and taxes:

\[ \text{Total Hourly Ownership Cost} = \text{Hourly Depreciation} + \text{Insurance} + \text{Taxes} \]

From the previous calculations, if hourly depreciation is ₹2,159.92, insurance is ₹361.25, and taxes are ₹541.88, the total hourly ownership cost will sum to ₹3,063.05.

Examples & Analogies

It’s like calculating the total cost of owning a vehicle. You don’t just think about the monthly payment, but you also add in fuel, insurance, and maintenance. By considering all these costs, you get a clearer picture of your spending.
