Machinery Calculation View

Introduction This tool calculates totals for input machinery uris. The discounted totals include operating, allocated overhead, and capital costs. Operating costs include fuel, repair and maintenance, and labor costs. Allocated overhead costs include capital recovery, and taxes, housing and insurance costs.

Instructions (beta)

Step 1. Machinery Constants: The constants derive from an American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers publication.
Step 1. Real and Nominal Rates: The nominal rate includes inflation while the real rate does not. In the USA, DevTreks recommends using Office of Management and Budget rates for the same year as the date of the input.

Step 2. Fuel Prices: The prices should be as of the date of the input. Prices that won't be used, such as natural gas prices, do not need to be filled out.
Step 2. Labor Prices: These prices should reflect actual gross hourly wages for each category of labor.
Step 2. Tax Percent: A percent that is multiplied by the market value to derive a tax cost.
Step 2. Housing Percent: A percent that is multiplied by the market value to derive a housing cost.
Step 2. Insure Percent: A percent that is multiplied by the market value to derive an insurance cost.

Step 3. Use Same Calculator Pack In Descendants?: True to insert or update this same calculator in children.
Step 3. Capacity Options: The materials option is only used when machinery, such as balers, do not cover each square foot of a field.
Step 3. Vary Time and Output Options: These options change the repair cost.
Step 3. Inflation Options: These options change the capital recovery cost.
Step 3. Fuel Options: Machinery that is being used for specific operations, such as planting, should use the 'Operation' option. Machinery that may be used in several operations should use the 'Enterprise' option.
Step 3. What If Tag Name: Instructional videos explaining the use of what-if scenario calculations should be viewed before changing or using this parameter.
Step 3. Related Calculators Type: Instructional videos explaining the use of interrelated calculations should be viewed before changing or using this parameter.
Step 3. List Price Adjustment: A multiplier that is used to increase the market value to the list price. For example, if the list price of an item of machinery is ten percent more that the market value, enter .1.
Step 3. Labor Price Adjustment: A multiplier that is used to adjust generic wage rates to local rates. For example, if local wages are ten percent greater than the wage rates available, enter 1.1.
