Calculate depreciation of machinery and implements

An efficient cost analysis reveals, in addition to possible improvements in resource allocation, the real cost of products. For this, it is essential to understand the value that each piece of machinery or implement represents in a given farming operation.

The cost of a piece of machinery or implement per hour worked can be obtained through depreciation calculation. This can be calculated using:

Residual Value – The selling value of the machine after its “Lifetime”:

Lifetime – On average assumed to be 7 years

Working Hours per Year – On average assumed to be 735 hours
