Add Capital Costs to the Cost Data Grid

In LCC, you have the ability to add the value or cost of an asset into the calculation using the Capital Cost section of the Cost Data grid. The added capital costs are depreciated according to the method and rate determined in the analysis model. Capital Costs can be added at the Primary and Secondary Element levels.

Initial Values are entered at Year 0 and are not treated as costs or revenue, as they are the value of the element at T0 before the analysis. The total capital cost for an element is the sum of rows underneath it, excluding the initial value row, salvage value row, and depreciated value row.

Capital Costs are added to the depreciated value of the element and the Depreciated Value sum shown in the calculated values for the period. Capital costs and Initial Value are depreciated to the Salvage Value in the period in which the salvage is taken.
