Description of the Cost and
Distance Calculations
All cost and average monthly costs calculations are constrained by
the selection criteria. If the calculations appear incorrect, it is
likely the selection criteria needs to be changed.
(1) Total Cost is the
accumulation of each qualifying ( based on selection criteria )
maintenance item's total cost ( i.e. parts cost plus labor cost plus
tax cost ).
(2) Average Monthly Cost is
Total
Cost divided by the number of months ( and this is calculated to a
fraction ) reflected in the selected date range
