Life Cycle Cost –Life Cycle Cost – “Probability” Model “Probability” Model

ProblemProblem– All of the major input assumptions are known to vary All of the major input assumptions are known to vary

over a range, yet each new homebuyer will face unique over a range, yet each new homebuyer will face unique combination of financial conditions combination of financial conditions

– ““Point estimates” for each assumption result in Point estimates” for each assumption result in “Yes/No” answers, when the real conclusion is “Yes/No” answers, when the real conclusion is “sometimes OK, sometimes not so OK”“sometimes OK, sometimes not so OK”

Solution Solution – Use distributions of input assumptions that represent Use distributions of input assumptions that represent

the “probability” that a specific value for each input the “probability” that a specific value for each input will occur to compute the likelihood that a specific will occur to compute the likelihood that a specific level of efficiency is economically feasiblelevel of efficiency is economically feasible
