6.3.2 Lease Usage Rental Calculation

This topic provides information on the calculation of lease usage rentals based on asset usage parameters, billing rules, and applicable lease terms.

Whenever customer sends asset + usage details to OFSLL, the details are categorized to applicable rate slabs. Depending on the Charge Matrix, the rental + usage fee (if applicable) is calculated and charged on to the account. The same is communicated to the customer through account statement.

Following is an illustration on how system calculates non-tiered Rental bill.

The Rental matrix is as defined below:

Table 6-1 Rental matrix

Cycle Base Rental Cycle From Base Rental Charge per cycle Discount % per Cycle Discount Amount per Cycle
Weekly 1 50 1 10
Weekly 5 10 2 12
Monthly 1 200 4 15
Monthly 5 150 5 18

If only Cycle From is defined and Cycle To is not specified, then range is considered up to an infinite value or till the next defined cycle. Here the range for weekly cycle is between 1-5.

For Rental Amount, system will calculate the both Discount Amount and Discount % and deduct the minimum of these two values from the rental amount per cycle.

The calculation is as follows:

Table 6-2 Calculation

Account Cycle Account Term Calculation Rental Amount per Cycle Calculation After Discount
Monthly 3 200 200 minus (Minimum of (4% of 200 = 8) or 15) = 192
Monthly 5 150 150 minus (Minimum of (5% of 150 = 10) or 18) = 194
Weekly 2 50 50 minus (Minimum of (1% of 50 = 0.5) or 10) = 49.5
