1. Equipment Costs
Operating Costs • Rate ($/hr) increases with age
due to increasing frequency & magnitude of repairs
• Also a “fixed” rate component for fuel, PMs, and wear parts
• Timing and size of repairs are the real unknowns

2. Annual Cost Model Owning Costs • Sum of Years Digits to estimate machine value • Depreciation term and ultimate value from:
– Current NCDOT depreciation schedule – Construction Equipment Ownership and Operating
Expense Schedule by US Corps of Engineers
Class 0201 – Truck, Pickup 5000 GVW Term: 5 years Salvage Value: 20% of purchase price
2. Annual Cost Model
Operating Costs • Estimated cost and use in each year of life • Snapshot of the fleet in a year (2011)

2. Annual Cost Model
Observations 1. Operating cost ($/mi) highly variable
• Snapshot of a trend longer than 1 year • Investment periods – high cost and low use • Honeymoon periods – reaping benefits of previous
investments
2. Data included all possible variations • All makes/models, applications, and operator skills • Some older machines no longer produced/purchased • May not accurately reflect expected future
3. Cumulative Cost Model • Track machine age in
miles or hours, rather than years
• Tangent point defines economic life (lowest rate)
• Cost growth largely comes from increasing operating costs

3. Cumulative Cost Model
Mitchell Curve LTD Repair Cost = A*Age2 + B*Age
• For similar machines – type, size, and application • Must have LTD cost and use (age) data
y = 0.0011x2 + 0.9613xR² = 0.9382
