Question

. For this project, assume that an organization has five servers. Server 1 has a TCO of $25,000, Server 2 and 3 have a TCO of $37,000 each, and the remaining two Servers, 4 and 5, has a TCO of $42,000 each. (TCO is the Total Cost of Ownership, the asset value, and includes, the total cost of hardware, software, training support and other costs of maintaining the system.) The servers are not used by internal employees but are used by Web visitors. The total income that all five servers brings in is $5 million a year (equally provided by all five servers). Compute the total asset value for each of the five servers.

Answer 1

Answer:

The total assets value for each servers are as follows. Server 1 =$49.75 million, server 2 an 3 = $49.63 million, and server 4 and 5 are$49.58 million

Explanation:

From the following example we compute for the total asset value for each of the five servers.

Now,

The Server 1 has a TCO of $25,000

The servers 2 and 3 have a TCO of $37,000 each

Thus,

For the servers  4 and 5 they  have a TCO of $42,000 each.

so,

The total TCO of all 5 servers=$104000

Then,

The Total income produced by all these 5 servers in a year is $5 million

For The server 1:Total asset value =$5000000 -$25000=497500 million=$49.75 million

For the server 2 and 3 :Total asset value=$5000000-$37000=$49.63 million

Thus,

For server 4 and 5:Total asset value=$5000000-$42000=$49.58 million

Answer 2

Answer:

$5,183,000

Explanation:

Total Asset Value = TCO + Income Server brings each year

Server 1:

Total Asset Value = $25,000 + $1,000,000

Total Asset Value = $1,025,000

Server 2 & 3:

Total Asset Value = 2 x ($37,000 + $1,000,000)

Total Asset Value = 2 x $1,037,000

Total Asset Value = $2,074,000

Server 4 & 5:

Total Asset Value = 2 x ($42,000 + $1,000,000)

Total Asset Value = 2 x $1,042,000

Total Asset Value = $2,084,000

Grand Total = $1,025,000 + $2,074,000 + $2,084,000

Grand Total = $5,183,000
