解説

問 22

  • Incorrectア

    “Plan A > Plan B > Plan C”, but Plan A's total cost (470 million) is the smallest of the three plans, not the largest. The order is the reverse of the actual one (B > C > A), so it is wrong.

  • Incorrectイ

    “Plan A > Plan C > Plan B”, but the largest is Plan B (500 million) and the smallest is Plan A (470 million). The magnitude order is almost entirely reversed, so it is wrong.

  • ウ

    正解 Calculate the 10-year total cost as “initial cost + annual cost × 10 years”. Plan A = 400 million + (operation 5 million + maintenance 2 million) × 10 years = 470 million yen. Plan B = 200 million + (15% of initial cost = 200 million × 0.15 = 30 million) × 10 years = 200 million + 300 million = 500 million yen. Plan C = 50 million + (operation = 10,000 per user × 4,000 users = 40 million, maintenance 3 million, total 43 million) × 10 years = 50 million + 430 million = 480 million yen. Therefore the total cost is Plan B (500 million) > Plan C (480 million) > Plan A (470 million), so ウ is correct.

  • Incorrectエ

    “Plan C > Plan B > Plan A”, but Plan C (480 million) is smaller than Plan B (500 million), so C > B does not hold. It mistakes the point that the highest is Plan B, so it is wrong.

ここがポイント
  • The total cost of a system (TCO) is compared as “initial cost (development/introduction) + (operation cost + maintenance cost) × number of operation years”. The key idea is to accumulate the annual cost over the operation period.
  • Usage-based (metered) costs must be expanded into unit price × quantity. Correctly reading the table conditions is the key: Plan C's operation cost is “10,000 per user × 4,000 users = 40 million per year” and Plan B's annual cost is “15% of initial cost (operation & maintenance combined)”.
