Features
|
|
The cost analysis
module allows you to compare the costs of using different materials
for a given project using a large number of relevant factors that
are typically used in performing cost analyses:
|
 |
Material costs (delivery, design, construction) data such as poundage
and supply |
|
Operating Costs |
|
Maintenance Costs,Taxes, Depreciation and salvage value |
|
Recurring annual cost |
|
Predict takes
into account different elements of project life costing to determine
an annualized (per year cost) using a specific material as well
as the total cost over the life time of the project. The user has
to specify all the input data in the data slots and click on the
CALC button in the dialog box. The program will display the annualized
cost and present worth after taxes (PWAT) based on the life of the
project at the bottom of the dialog box
