Question

The delivered-equipment cost for a fully equipped CNC machining system is $4.2 million. The direct cost factor is 1.52 and the indirect cost factor is 0.37. Estimate the total plant cost if the indirect cost factor applies to the total direct cost. (Enter your answer in dollars and not in millions of dollars.) The total plant cost is $

Answer 1

Answer: $14.5 million

Explanation:

The following information can be gotten from the question;

Total equipment cost = $4.2 million

Direct cost factor = 1.52

Indirect cos factor = 0.37

The total plant cost will then be calculated as:

= 4.2 × (1 + 1.52) × (1 + 0.37)

= 4.2 × 2.52 × 1.37

= 14.5

Therefore, the total plant cost is $14.5 million
