= IT equipment per consultant * consultants / equipment lifespan
= 4.800 € * 10 / 48 months
= 2.000 € p.m.
The solution states 48 months, but the case says useful life is 2 years = 24 months.
Shouldn't the calculation be 48,000 ÷ 24 = 2,000/month instead of ÷ 48?
hey!
From the info I have here: you’re right. If the useful life is 2 years, the denominator should be 24 months.
Your setup is correct: IT equipment per consultant times number of consultants gives total cost. Then you divide by the useful life in months. If the case truly says 2 years, the correct depreciation is 48,000 divided by 24, which gives 2,000 per month. If the solution uses 48 months, then either the case text or the solution has an inconsistency.
