At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

A store has the technology cost components as follows:
- Total variable cost of the technology: $1,000
- One-time Installation in Store, paid at set-up: $10,200
- One-time integration with existing systems, paid at set up: $51,000
- Yearly technical support (fixed yearly cost, paid at set-up and then annually): $3,000
What is the total cost of technology for that store in the first year?
Pleas help me calculate this, the question does not specify any other information on the time. Therefore, I don't know whether I should add the one-time set-up costs to the first year's total cost or not.

The problem statement has two types of costs -
1) Ongoing - Applicable for the first year and henceforth
a. Variable cost for technology: $1,000
b. Yearly technical support (fixed yearly cost, paid at set-up and then annually): $3,000
2) One-time - Only applicable for the first year
a. One-time Installation in Store, paid at set-up: $10,200
b. One-time integration with existing systems, paid at set up: $51,000
First year cost : $1000 + $3000 + $10200 + $51000 = $65,200

IMO We need to follow below steps:
1. capitalize the one-time cost
2. estimate the useful life of the technology asset
3. amortize the cost over useful life of the asset following a reasonable basis i.e. SLM/WDV etc.
