Use when costing plant per machine or settling its tax and accounting treatment: standing versus running cost, the hour denominator and utilisation, wet versus dry hire, effective life and decline in value, and hire purchase versus chattel mortgage versus lease.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Plant and equipment costing

Build a per-machine owning-and-operating rate and a defensible treatment note for each item of plant. Two outputs: a rate stated per a named hour, and a per-machine note covering hire type, effective life, finance structure and the book-to-tax difference.

## Inputs needed

1. Asset register extract per machine: description, make and model, the date contracted for or construction started, acquisition and start-time dates, cost, GL cost centre code, finance type, disposal date
2. The finance contract for each financed machine (hire purchase, chattel mortgage, lease or rental), including the date the agreement was entered into
3. The entity's ANZSIC industry classification and the evidence supporting it, plus the predominant industry of the customers for any hired-out machine
4. Hour data per machine per period: SMU or engine hours, available hours, billed hours
5. Running cost actuals per machine: fuel, ground engaging tools and wear parts, tyres or tracks, servicing consumables, repairs, component rebuild history and expected component lives

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ryanduguid/australian-accounting-skills/plant-and-equipment-costing@sha256:93c35646ee89746f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.93891c7, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
