問題 5-18The company decided to purchase a new server for the old sales system. There are no changes of existing software or functionality. Which of the following should be included in the TCO? (Choose three)

題意:公司決定要購買一台新的伺服器,讓既有的銷售系統使用,現有的軟體或是功能不需要做任何改變,請問下列哪些項目應該要列在 TCO 裡面?(選擇三項)。

Total Cost of Ownership, TCO,總體擁有成本,是一種財務上計算的方式,用來幫助購買者和擁有者,決定產品或系統的直接和間接成本,屬於管理會計的概念,可以包含多種經營企業的成本項目,像是運送成本(ship cost)和機會成本,尤其是在選擇不同解決方案的時候,可以用來估算每個解決方案(alternative solution)的總體擁有成本,用來提供決策者資訊。

選項:A. Hardware expenditureB. Payment conditionsC. Energy consumptionD. End-user training feeE. Software licenses feeF. Maintenance cost

解答:(A)(C)(F)

Page 46: 雲端科技規劃之可行性分析

Return on Investment (ROI)

46

ROI (%) = ((benefits - costs) / costs)

Example: Costs = $22,000 totalProjected Benefits = $35,000ROI = ($35,000 - $22,000) / $22,000 = .59 = 59%

Page 47: 雲端科技規劃之可行性分析

Payback Period

47

payback period = costs / benefits per period

Example: Costs = $12,000 totalBenefits = $5,000 for each yearPayback period = 12,000 / 5,000 = 2.4 years

Page 48: 雲端科技規劃之可行性分析

Net Present Value (NPV)

48

NPV = R x (1 - (1 + i)-n) ÷ i - Initial investment

Example: NPV = $100,000 x (1 - (1 + .02)-5) / .02 - $300,000NPV = $100,000 x (1 - .90573) / .02 - $300,000NPV = $100,000 x .09427 / .02 - $300,000NPV = $471,350 - $300,000NPV = $171,350

Page 49: 雲端科技規劃之可行性分析

• Return rate at which the NPV of a project evaluates

to 0

• Some analysts calculate IRR by:1. Guessing a return rate

2. Calculating NPV

3. Choosing other return rates

4. Calculate NPV

5. And so on…..until NPV approaches 0 and becomes negative

49

Internal Rate of Return (IRR)

Page 50: 雲端科技規劃之可行性分析

• The time from project initiation until the time it

begins to generate revenue

• Shorter TTR often means sacrificing features

50

Time to Revenue (TTR)

Example: If a CRM solution implementation project begins in Jan 2014, and the training and deployment of the new CRM tool ends in October 2014, the TTR would be 10 months.

Page 51: 雲端科技規劃之可行性分析

• Time from project initiation until the point in time a

solution begins to deliver value

• Exact definition of TTV depends on how the

company defines value
