Initial Cost and Equivalent Annual Cost
Unlock Audio Lesson
Today, we'll explore how to convert initial costs into equivalent uniform annual costs, also known as EUAC. Can anyone tell me why we might need to annualize costs?
I think it helps in budgeting for long-term projects?
Exactly! By expressing costs annually, we can better predict and manage our finances over time. The formula for this is: Initial Cost times the uniform series capital recovery factor.
What is the recovery factor?
Good question! It's the factor that accounts for interest over time. So, would you like to see how we apply this?
Yes, that would be helpful!
We multiply our ₹2,89,00,000 by the factor derived from an 8% interest rate over 12.5 years, which gives us an annualized cost of ₹37,41,844.41.
So, this helps in planning the budget?
Exactly! Let’s recap: we annualized the initial cost using a formula that incorporates the recovery factor. This can help teams estimate financial requirements much more accurately.
Calculating Salvage Value
Unlock Audio Lesson
Now, let’s move on to the concept of salvage value. What do you think salvage value represents?
Isn’t it the resale value of equipment after its useful life?
Correct! To annualize the salvage value, we will again use a formula based on the uniform series sinking fund factor. This allows us to determine its contribution to annual costs.
How do we find that factor?
Great question! The factor involves the interest rate over time. So let's say our salvage is 20% of the initial cost. If the initial cost is ₹2,89,00,000, then the salvage would be ₹57,80,000.
How do we turn that into an annual cost?
We apply the formula, resulting in an annualized salvage value of ₹2,85,968.88. This plays a crucial role in our overall cost analysis.
So we account for this in our total cost?
Absolutely! Accurately estimating salvage value allows companies to paint a clearer picture of their overall financial health.
Depreciation and Ownership Costs
Unlock Audio Lesson
Next, we need to understand how to calculate hourly depreciation. Can anyone recap what depreciation is?
It’s how much value an asset loses over time, right?
Exactly! Hourly depreciation is calculated by taking our annual costs and subtracting the annualized salvage value, which we then divide by the total annual hours of operation.
That’s innovative. How do we find that number?
We determined the hourly depreciation based on our previous figures, yielding ₹2159.92 per hour. Now, let’s discuss total ownership costs!
What else do we include in those costs?
We also include insurance, taxes, and other operational expenses. Together, these contribute to the total hourly ownership cost, which sums up to ₹3063.05.
So, these are persistent costs we should always prepare to account for?
Exactly! They’re critical for effective financial planning for any equipment involved in projects.
Operating Costs and Total Cost Estimation
Unlock Audio Lesson
Lastly, let’s touch on operating costs. Besides ownership costs, what other costs might we need to account for?
Things like fuel or maintenance?
Correct! We consider fuel consumption, lubricating costs, tire costs, even repair costs. How do we estimate the fuel cost, for instance?
By calculating the consumption per hour and multiplying it by the cost per liter.
Spot on! When we integrated all of this, we concluded the total operating cost rounded up to ₹2496.15 per hour, adding to the hourly ownership costs.
Putting everything together, we arrived at a total cost of ₹5759.20 per hour?
Yes, and this illustrates the total financial implications of machinery usage, which must be thoroughly assessed in project budgets.

Detailed Summary of Salvage Value Analysis
Salvage Value Analysis is crucial for assessing the long-term costs associated with capital equipment. In this section, key components include how to convert initial costs into equivalent uniform annual costs (EUAC) using the uniform series capital recovery factor. This process allows for an annualized view of an initial cost, making future cash flows easier to manage and predict.
Key Calculations:
- Initial Cost Analysis: The initial cost is represented by ₹2,89,00,000, and using an interest rate of 8% over 12.5 years, the annualized initial cost becomes ₹37,41,844.41 per year.
- Salvage Value Calculation: The salvage value is computed at 20% of the total initial cost, leading to an annualized salvage value of ₹2,85,968.88. This further aids in calculating depreciation and understanding total operating costs.
- Hourly Depreciation: The depreciation is calculated as the difference between the annualized initial cost and the annualized salvage value, divided by the estimated hours of use (1600 hours), yielding an hourly depreciation of ₹2159.92.
- Total Ownership Costs: This includes various factors such as insurance (2% of initial cost), taxes (3% of initial cost), and other operating expenses, culminating in a total hourly ownership cost of ₹3063.05.
- Operating Costs: This encompasses fuel consumption, lubricating oil costs, consumable costs, tire costs, and repair costs, leading to a final total cost of ₹5759.20 per hour.
Ultimately, this section highlights the significance of salvage value and its analytical role in effective project budgeting and financial planning.

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 what you have determine just now after deducting the tire cost, 2,89,00,000 lakh multiplied by your uniform series capital recovery factor which is nothing but I into 1 + i whole power n by 1 + i whole power n - 1.
Detailed Explanation
In this chunk, we calculate the annualized initial cost from a large initial investment using a financial formula. The formula involves the initial cost, an interest rate (i), and the number of years (n). By applying this formula, we determine how much needs to be paid each year in order to recover the initial investment over time. Here, the annualized initial cost is found to be ₹ 37,41,844.41 per year.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine you took a loan of ₹ 2,89,00,000 to buy a car. Instead of paying the entire loan amount back at once, your bank allows you to pay it back in monthly installments. The cost of the car is like the initial cost, and the monthly payment you make is like the annualized cost we're calculating here.

Now I need to convert the future salvage value into equivalent uniform annual cost. The salvage value will be converted into equivalent uniform annual cost. Salvage value is nothing but 20% of the initial cost minus the tire cost.
Detailed Explanation
This chunk explains how to find the equivalent annual cost of the salvage value using a specific formula. The salvage value is calculated as a percentage (20%) of the initial cost after some deductions. This future value is then converted into an annual cost equal to the amount that can be expected each year if the salvage value were to be received, thus allowing proper planning for the asset's depreciation.
Examples & Analogies
Think of salvage value like selling an old car once you're done using it. If you bought a car for ₹ 2,89,00,000 and expect to sell it for ₹ 57,80,000 after 12.5 years, that expected amount can be spread out over the years to see how much you would effectively 'save' each year.

Hourly depreciation, depreciation is nothing but the difference between the initial cost minus the salvage value and you are going to divide by the annual use of the machine in hours.
Detailed Explanation
Here, we learn to calculate hourly depreciation, which is a measure of how much value a machine loses each hour it is used. This is done by taking the difference between the initial cost and the salvage value, divided by the total hours the machine is expected to be used in a year (1600 hours). This gives a clearer picture of equipment wear and can inform decisions regarding maintenance or replacement.
Examples & Analogies
Consider a rental bike service. If you buy a bike for ₹ 37,41,844.41 and expect to sell it at ₹ 2,85,968 after a year of rental, knowing how much the bike loses in value each hour you rent it can help you figure out how much to charge your customers!
