The Cost tab allows you to specify the cost of running the equipment. It also allows you to track the estimated equipment value, pertinent dates, usable hours, and other information as needed. Several fields contain values calculated by the system. These fields are described in the table below:
Field Name |
Automatic System Calculations |
Depreciation Date |
This is the date expected for the item to be fully depreciated. The user can modify this value, but the default calculation is: Purchase Date + Service Life = Depreciation Date |
Service Life |
If the user enters a Depreciation Date and Purchase Date but not a Service Life value, the system will calculate the Service Life in the following manner: Depreciation Date - Purchase Date = Service Life Note: You will receive an error message if the Depreciation Date is not greater than the Purchase Date. |
Additionally, there are two grids containing information on cost and insurance. These grids are described below.
