ANNUAL COST
PURPOSE
For investments (purchases) of buildings and equipment, which are expected to last several years, it is reasonable to place their cost on an annual basis over several years, rather than a single year. Viewing cost on an annual basis allows easy comparison to anticipated changes in income or productivity that will be required to pay for the item.
For instance, if annual cost of a mix wagon is $3,000, then an equivalent increase in net milk income will cover its cost. For 100 cows at a n of $8/cwt of milk, that would et 350lbs/cow/year or slightly more than 1 lb/cow/day in milk. Furthermore, annual costs allows comparison or joint consideration of items having differing lengths of life.

It will admittedly, increase in amount over time, but be offset by decreasing taxes and insurance. If there are few moving parts, use 1 or 2%, otherwise up to 5 or 6% of price. 4. Property Taxes and Insurance – not always associated directly with the item. There may be no property taxes on it or the insurance currently in effect will cover the item at no additional cost, but both together are usually included at 1.5% of price.
5. MARR and Years of Life – MARR is the interest rate used to annualize the price and salvage. It normally is the rate, which could be earned, in an alternative safe investment. Higher rates could be used to make the annual cost look larger (more conservative approach). Years of life should be reasonable, with any real-life extensions for excellent care or good luck being a bonus beyond what was expected. Remember, years of life are also curtailed by obsolescence. One technique of calculation is to extend the years of life and ignore the salvage value, particularly on long -lived items.

During the year, Summit produces 50,000 snow shovels and sells 45,000 snow shovels. What is the value of ending inventory using full costing?
Estimated machinery life: 3 years (after which there will be zero value for the equipment and no further cost savings)
Personal Budget Exercise – Excel Creating a spreadsheet track personal business expenses is an excellent use of Microsoft Excel. For this exercise, you will create a spreadsheet to enter a personal budget and track actual expenses for the year. You may choose to use real data or create a fictitious budget using a monthly income amount of $2,500. Here are suggested budget categories if you are not using a real budget. At a minimum, you must have 9 budget categories: Housing (mortgage or rent) Utilities Car payment Insurance Student Loans Food Misc. Entertainment Gas Savings

Since more attention had been placed on the cost of higher education (Murphy & Katsinas, 2014), it was important to understand the financial aid process and the different ways to assist and maximize funding to students. The U. S. Department of Education’s website provided resources and information on the different types of financial aid that the federal government provided. This paper discussed the availability of loans to students, repayment plans, accessibility of the application process, support for applicants with questions or concerns, ease of information retrieval, and how institutional financial aid budget directors might maximize access to funds for students.
This is something you should check on every year when you renew your policy, as the price to build homes changes.

Every student in the school’s One Act play program last year ended up asking themselves the same question, and that question, put simply, is “What happened?” Previously under the tutelage of Mr. Johnston, the more seasoned actors and actresses were not used to the new director, Mrs. Smith. It seemed that the shows were ending on a somewhat lacking note, and everyone wanted to know why. Many chalked it up to the choices in script, which is a perfectly reasonable assumption, but I figured that there was at least one other factor. My speculation summed up to a budget consisting of pocket lint and good intentions.
In this day and age, almost everything costs money. If you want to go out and do something entertaining, it can be expensive. Tell City is a pretty boring town, and there is not really much to do here. However, you can have fun for cheap if you know where to go. We have a movie theater, restaurants, hiking trails, and plenty of grocery stores around town that you can go to to find snacks and meals to prepare. Many people that live here complain that they never have anything to do. People also complain that anything we can do costs too much money. Taking a girl out on a date is almost impossible without spending a lot of money. What people do not know is that you can have a good weekend with less than $20 here in Tell City, if you know
Determining long term financial needs can be important because they allow the finance section of an organization layout the future expenses for the next year. Pro forma balance sheets detail the projected funds required for the following year. There are also year-end ratios that must be calculated to determine the health of the organization. This financial report will also include how the numbers were obtained for each of the ratios and whether or not the organization will require external funds. There assumptions for the pro forma sheet will be retrieved from the New Strategic Directions Memo.
An efficient management of cattle will be incomplete without a well-planned and adequate housing of cattle. Improper planning in the arrangement of animal housing may result in additional labour charges and that curtail the profit of the owner. During erection of a house for dairy cattle, care should be taken to provide comfortable accommodation for an individual cow. No less important is the proper sanitation, durability, and efficient arrangement plan for the stalls and production of clean milk under convenient and economic conditions, etc. (TNAU, 2009)
