Life Cycle Cost (LCC)Life-cycle cost analysis is a
process for evaluating the total economic worth of a usable
project segment by analysing initial costs and discounted
future costs.

Key Parameters used in
calculating Life Cycle Cost • Time Value of Money1.Rate of Return2.Inflation• Opportunity Cost• Discount Rate• Analysis

Steps to determine life cycle costs:
• Establish alternative design strategies.
• Determine activity timing.• Estimate agency costs.• Estimate user costs.• Determine life-cycle cost.

Costs Involved Direct Costs• Initial Costs: Investment Costs,
Construction Costs, Purchasing Price. (PV = TV)
• Salvage Value: Scrap value of any equipment (or any other property) at the end of its service life. ()
• Future Investments• Residual Cost• Annually Recurring Fixed Cost. )• Annually Recurring Escalating

Costs Involved Indirect Costs• Motorist delay time• Vehicle operating costs• Accident Costs

Calculation of Life Cycle Cost
Deterministic• An Exact Cost is Determined
Probabilistic• A range of Values is determined with a specific
probability distribution.

Steps Involved• Step 1-Identify what has to be analysed and the time
period for the project life study along with the appropriate financial criteria.
• Step 2-Focus on the technical features by way of the economic consequences to look for alternative solutions.
• Step 3-Develop the cost details by year • Step 4-Select the appropriate cost model, simple
discrete, simple with some variability for repairs and replacements, complex with random variations, etc. required by project complexity.
• Step 5-Cost details are acquired.• Step 6-Yearly cost profiles are found.

Deterministic Approach
• Fixed discrete values are assigned to various parameters and any type of uncertainties are ignored
• LCC calculated is fixed value

Probabilistic Approach• Cost parameters are assigned
with some appropriate probability distribution.
• Random numbers are generated • These random numbers are used
to calculate the LCC

Sensitivity Analysis• A sensitivity analysis is performed to
understand what variables make the largest difference in the final result.
• We can identify the model variables that have a significant influence on model results and/or determine break-even points that alter the ranking of considered options.

Risk Analysis• Risk analysis helps to estimate the levels of risk
and uncertainty within final economic decision measures such as BCR and NPV, from uncertainty in the key input variables feeding into the project evaluation process. By estimating the 'riskiness' aspect of these summary measures, a more realistic comparison of project returns can be obtained
