A piece that is paid for: its price spread over its useful life as wear. A piece that is financed or rented: its payment times twelve. Then insurance and upkeep as entered. It is the same arithmetic as the running total beside the form.

Good to know

Equipment wears outA $30,000 buggy that lasts six years costs $5,000 a year whether or not a check goes out. That is overhead too.
How it is paid forSay that first and only the right money questions appear: a price and a useful life for what is paid for, a payment for what is financed or rented.
The useful lifeHow many years it earns its keep before it is replaced. Five is a fair guess for most of it; a brake lasts longer, a compressor less.
Blank is not zeroA blank means nobody has said, and the year leaves it out. No cost means you have said, and it counts as zero. The page keeps the two apart.
UpkeepOil, tires, hoses and the repair nobody planned, as one figure for the year. The upkeep field shows worked examples; the guide explains the method.
Small toolsGuns, hoses, ladders and the like go under Everything else as one yearly line.
