Identify Input Parameters
4 parameters
Total fleet value ($) = 500000, Number of machines = 8, Total fleet hours/year = 3000, Shop size (sq ft) = 3000 = 6 input(s) provided
Calculate Total annual maint. cost
Total annual maint. cost = totalShopCost + estimatedRM
78250 = $78,250
Calculate Shop overhead
Shop overhead = annualBuildingCost + utilities + toolsCost + partsCarrying + consumables
60750 = $60,750
Calculate Est. repair & maint.
Est. repair & maint. = fleetValue * 0.035
17500 = $17,500
