LIFE CYCLE COSTING
THIS ASSIGNMENT IS TO BE UNDERTAKEN INDIVIDUALLY
Assignment Aim
To understand and apply the processes for life cycle costing.
Assignment Details
You are contemplating the purchase of a newvehicle for family use. You are to choose a brand new petrol and a brand new hybrid vehicle and perform a Life Cycle Costing calculation using the Net Present Value method to determine their life cycle costs, over a period of 5 years using a car loan). ( note: try to choose the same manufacturer and model of 1 hybrid and 1 petrol vehicle )
As the vehicle is for private use only you should ignore any tax implications in your life cycle costing, but must consider the resale value.
As a minimum you must provide the following information:
? a detailed description of ALL your assumptions
? a detailed explanation and breakdown of all costs and values used in your costing (do NOT use published all-inclusive rates per kilometre for running expenses)
? sources for ALL the data used (with sources proven by screen shots).
? a comprehensive explanation (with sources, proven by screen shots) for your choice of discount rate and method for handling inflation
? a single A4 spreadsheet per LCC which shows all the relevant costs and values for the full life cycle as well as the discounting calculations. The spreadsheets are to be in landscape layout, titled and use the following general layout for information: A example will be posted on BB.
? a detailed commentary on the outcome of the life cycle costing exercise, identifying total ownership costs of the vehicle petrol vs hybrid.
The assignment is to be presented in the form of a report (including an executive summary, numbered sections and headers and footers). The number of words must be between 2400 and 3400 in total (including any tables, contents page, headers, footers and references, but excluding the cover sheet, screen shots and the A4 spreadsheet). The word count must be stated on the front cover. Student marks for the assignment will be reduced where the assignment is outside the word count maximum or minimum. The amount of penalty will be related to the number of words (deduct 5 marks if up to 200 words over or under, 10 marks if 201-400 words over or under, 20 if 401-600 words over or under, 50 marks if more than 600 words over or under). named, and the content should be organized according to this general layout: An illustration will be provided on Blackboard, as well as a comprehensive analysis of the results of the life cycle costing exercise, which will compare the total ownership costs of gasoline-powered and hybrid vehicles.
It is expected that the work would be submitted in the form of a report (including an executive summary, numbered sections and headers and footers). It is required that the total amount of words fall between 2400 and 3400. (including any tables, contents page, headers, footers and references, but excluding the cover sheet, screen shots and the A4 spreadsheet). On the front cover, you should clearly specify the total number of words. When an assignment exceeds either the maximum or minimum number of words required, the student’s grade for the assignment will suffer as a result. The severity of the punishment will be proportional to the amount of text in question (deduct 5 marks if up to 200 words over or under, 10 marks if 201-400 words over or under, 20 if 401-600 words over or under, 50 marks if more than 600 words over or under).
