Let's start by understanding how we can determine the annualized initial cost of equipment. Can anyone tell me the formula used for this calculation?

Student 1
Student 1

Is it the initial cost multiplied by a capital recovery factor?

Teacher
Teacher

Exactly! The formula is: **Annualized Initial Cost = Initial Cost × [i(1+i)^n / [(1+i)^n - 1]]**. Here, 'i' is the interest rate, and 'n' is the number of years.

Student 2
Student 2

For example, if the initial cost is ₹2,89,00,000 and 'i' is 0.08 for 12.5 years, can you show us how to apply the formula?

Teacher
Teacher

Sure! When we substitute the values, we find: Annualized Cost = ₹2,89,00,000 × {0.08(1+0.08)^(12.5) / [(1+0.08)^(12.5)-1]} = ₹37,41,844.41.

Now let's talk about the salvage value. How do we calculate its equivalent uniform annual cost?

Student 4
Student 4

Is it similar to how we calculated the annualized cost?

Teacher
Teacher

Correct! We use a similar formula but for the sinking fund factor. The formula is: **Equivalent Uniform Annual Cost of Salvage = Salvage Value × [i / (1+i)^n - 1]**.

Student 1
Student 1

So in our previous example, if the salvage value is 20% of the initial cost, how do we substitute?

Teacher
Teacher

Good thinking! If the initial cost is ₹2,89,00,000, the salvage value would be ₹57,80,000. We would plug this into the formula to get: **Annualized Salvage Value = ₹2,89,00,000 × 0.2 × [i / (1+i)^{n} - 1]**.

Student 2
Student 2

And what’s the annualized salvage value we find?

Teacher
Teacher

After substitution, the annualized salvage value is ₹2,85,968.88. It represents the expected return at the end of occupancy.

Let’s go deeper into calculating the **hourly depreciation**. What do we need to determine this?

Student 3
Student 3

We need the total annualized costs?

Teacher
Teacher

Exactly! We take the annualized initial cost and subtract the annualized salvage value: **Hourly Depreciation = (Annualized Initial Cost - Annualized Salvage Value) / Annual Use in Hours**.

Student 4
Student 4

What’s the hourly rate given an annual usage of 1600 hours?

Teacher
Teacher

Great question! With the previously calculated values: **Hourly Depreciation = (₹37,41,844.41 - ₹2,85,968.88) / 1600 = ₹2,159.92/hr**. This tells us how much value the equipment loses per hour of use.

Quick Overview

This section explains the calculation of total hourly ownership costs by evaluating initial costs, salvage values, and operating expenses.

Standard

In this section, we discuss how to compute the total hourly ownership cost of equipment by factoring in its initial cost, salvage value, depreciation, insurance, taxes, and additional operational costs, elaborating on the formulas used for these calculations.

Detailed

Total Hourly Ownership Cost

This section dives into the calculation of the total hourly ownership cost for equipment, a crucial aspect of project management and financial analysis. It begins with the calculation of the annualized initial cost, derived from the initial cost using a uniform series capital recovery factor. The initial cost is adjusted based on an interest rate (8% in this case) and the useful life of the asset (12.5 years), resulting in an annualized initial cost of ₹37,41,844.41.

Next, we explore the equivalent uniform annual cost of the salvage value, calculated using the uniform series sinking fund factor. Here, the salvage value is calculated as 20% of the initial cost. This leads to an annualized salvage value of ₹2,85,968.88.

The section then details the calculation of hourly depreciation, factoring in both the annualized initial cost and the annualized salvage value, ultimately determining an hourly depreciation of ₹2,159.92.

Moreover, additional components of ownership cost, including insurance (2% of initial cost) and taxes (3% of initial cost), are calculated, resulting in costs of ₹361.25/hr and ₹541.88/hr, respectively. The total hourly ownership cost, when summed with depreciation, insurance, and taxes, culminates in a total of ₹3,063.05/hr.

Lastly, the section addresses operational costs, including fuel costs based on consumption factors and operational efficiencies, cutting down to an hourly operational cost of ₹2,496.15. This results in a total cost of ownership and operation at ₹5,759.20/hr.

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. 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. The interest rate you know it is nothing but 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 find the annualized initial cost, we take the total initial cost of 2,89,00,000 and use the uniform series capital recovery factor formula. The formula accounts for interest, which is 8%, and the lifespan of the investment, which is 12.5 years. By applying these values into the formula, we convert the large one-time initial cost into an annual payment equivalent, making it easier to manage in financial planning.

Examples & Analogies

Think of this like taking a loan for a car. You can either pay the full price upfront or finance it with monthly payments. The annualized cost is similar to those monthly payments, making it easier to integrate into a budget.

Salvage Value Calculation

Now I need to convert the future salvage value into equivalent uniform annual cost. So 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. Now you substitute the value the interest rate and the useful life of the machine n = 12.5 you will get the annualized salvage value as 2,85,968.88 per year.

Detailed Explanation

This part involves calculating the salvage value, which is the expected resale value of the equipment at the end of its useful life. In this case, the salvage value is 20% of the initial cost minus the cost of tires. We then convert this future value into an annualized figure, which allows us to factor in this future income when assessing total ownership costs.

Examples & Analogies

Think of buying a smartphone. After usage, when you decide to sell it, you get some money back. That remaining value is equivalent to the salvage value of the phone once its useful life is over.

Hourly Depreciation Calculation

Hourly depreciation is 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 calculate the hourly depreciation, we subtract the annualized value of the salvage from the annualized initial cost. This gives us the total depreciable cost over a year, which we then divide by the total hours the machine is expected to be in use each year. This helps spread the cost of using the machine over its working hours, providing a clearer view of its cost per hour.

Examples & Analogies

Imagine you bought a bicycle for ₹10,000 and expect to sell it for ₹2,000 after a year. The annual depreciation is the initial cost minus the future value, divided by how often you use it. If you ride it for 1,000 hours in a year, you know exactly what the bike costs you per hour of riding.

Additional Ownership Costs

The other components of the ownership cost like insurance, taxes, and storage are calculated as a percentage of the initial cost minus the tire cost.

Detailed Explanation

In addition to depreciation, there are recurring costs associated with owning and operating equipment. Insurance is commonly 2% of the initial cost minus the tire cost, calculated annually and then broken down into an hourly rate. Taxes work similarly, based on a percentage of the initial investment. These costs are critical to understanding the total cost of ownership.

Examples & Analogies

Just like when you own a car, you don’t just think about its price. You also have to consider insurance, registration fees, and maintenance costs. These are like the additional costs in the ownership of equipment.
