    Hi John,

    Working on Chapter 3 example 1 Lifecycle costs, im calculating total lifecycle costs (50 000x 6) + 60 000 + 30 000 = $390 000. How come they saying 50 000 x 6 shouldnt it be 5 becuase the product would last for 5 years? Im seeing this on all lifecycle questions.

    Thanks,
    Bronwyn.

    50,000 is the total demand over the 5 years (1 year at 2000 and 4 years at 12000).
    6 is the cost per unit!
    So 50000 x 6 is the total production cost.
