Computation of weekly total maintenance cost of this program:

If implementing preventive maintenance:

Breakdown per week = 1

Breakdown Cost = $3,000

Cost of preventive maintenance = $1,000 per week

 

Cost per week = Breakdown cost + Cost of preventive maintenance

= $3,000 + $1,000

Cost per week = $4,000
