LCC = I + Repl − Res + E + W + OMR + X
where:
LCC = Total LCC in present-value dollars of a given alternative
I = Present-value investment costs
Repl = Present-value capital replacement costs
Res = Present-value residual value (resale value, scrap value, salvage value) less disposal costs
E = Present-value energy costs
W = Present-value water costs
OMR = Present-value non-fuel operating, maintenance, and repair costs
X = Present-value other costs (benefits treated as negative costs)
