Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A contractor has a bulldozer worth ₹5,00,000 with a salvage value of ₹50,000. The useful life is projected to be 10 years, and the operating hours are 2000 annually. Calculate an approximate hourly cost considering common costs.

💡 Hint: Work through each cost and then sum them!

Challenge 2 Hard

Your scoring method uses the average cost of two models, one costing ₹6,00,000 with a 15% salvage value, and another costing ₹7,00,000 with a 10% salvage. If both have a lifespan of 12 years, or 2500 hours, calculate the average hourly costs.

💡 Hint: Calculate both models' costs separately before averaging.
