Report on Photocopier Costs
Introduction This report aims to give a verbal interpretation of the information presented in the chart about the purchase cost, warranty cost and running costs for three different photocopiers, Carda, KD and Sebu.
Findings As is shown in the chart, the purchase price of Carda is the lowest among the three types of photocopiers. It is slightly more than $600, but its expected running cost for first two years is the highest, with its warranty cost at the mid-level among the three photocopiers.
In comparison, the purchase price of KD is $700, which is a little more than that of Carda, whereas its expected running cost($900) is much less than that of Carda($1200). However, KD's warranty cost is the highest among the three, at $200. By comparison, Sebu's purchase price is the highest of the three, i.e. $1000, but it costs consumers the least in warranty and running for the first two years. In other words, the expected total cost of Carda for the initial 2-year period is $1900, more than that of both Sebu and KD($1000).
Conclusions
In conclusion it would be advisable to buy KD photocopier, which imposes a lighter initial financial burden on consumers because of its lower puchase cost compared with Sebu. |
