Ill. Admin. Code tit. 83, § 791.70 - Investment-related Cost Study Components
a)
Material. The material component of investment shall be based on the most recent
vendor prices, reflecting applicable discounts and all applicable taxes, for the
hardware and software resources required to provide the service. The carrier shall
provide a breakdown of the material involved in providing the service.
b) Inventory and supply. The inventory and supply
components shall reflect the costs to the company of inventory, administration,
storage and delivery.
c) Labor
investment. The labor investment component shall consist of the labor required to
install and put into service capital assets. The labor investment component shall be
divided into two components, vendor-related and carrier-related labor investment.
Vendor-related labor investment shall include billed installation and engineering.
Carrier-related investment may be calculated based on either account averages or
product specific plant engineering and installation hours. Total labor costs shall
be computed by multiplying the account average or product specific work time by the
appropriate labor hours. Hourly labor rates shall include the operational wages,
benefits, paid absence, tools, and miscellaneous expenses.
d) Utilization factors. The utilization factor
measures the usable capacity of a capital resource pursuant to the definition of
usable capacity in Section
791.20(n).
Investment shall be adjusted to reflect the usable capacity by dividing the dollar
amount of investment by the utilization factor estimated pursuant to this
Section.
