How to use this result

Use this to create a reserve rather than assuming racks have no ownership cost after installation.

Annual reserve

Inspection and repair allowances increase by the selected inflation rate.

Planned improvement

Protection and end-of-term component allowances are added separately.

Important: A financial reserve does not replace immediate isolation and competent assessment of damage. Unsafe rack cannot remain in use because repair was not budgeted.
