Module $3$: Assignment Instructions$-0$&O Costs

By now, you should have read the chapter and lecture notes and taken the quiz. For this assignment, you will practice using the ownership and operating fundamentals to align with the goals of this module.

Instructions and Questions

You will use the supplied "CAT Hourly Owning and Operating Cost Estimate Form" $($O&O Cost Form$)$ to complete and submit this work. Make sure that you submit this pdf form, as the cells in the form are fillable.

Use one vertical column in the CAT form for one machine $($i$.$e$.,$ you only need to complete the very right two columns of the form: Estimates #$1$ and #$2.$ There is no need to provide your calculations.$)$

For the numbers you put in the form, display them up to two decimal places.

Additional Notes:

Use the CAT manual, Chapter $22,$ as a major reference for this assignment.

If you have any difficulty completing the table, please visit the instructor's office by appointment.
