Depreciation — This is calculated by dividing the capital cost of the equipment by the number of expected years of useful life. The expected useful life is to be certified by two departmental employees, one of whom shall be a financial officer employed by financial services.

Direct Expenses — Expenses incurred in the provision of a service or goods which can be identified with and allocated to the provision of that service or goods. Examples of this are travel expenses or contracted work, or costs incurred by other government departments in the provision of a service or goods.

Direct Labour Cost — Labour cost which can be identified with and allocated to the provision of a service or goods. The cost components are basic wage/salary rate, shift premiums, fringe benefits and overtime premiums. Fringe benefits are the employer contributions to employee benefit plans, i.e., Superannuation, Canada Pension Plan, Quebec Pension Plan, Supplementary Death Benefits, Unemployment Insurance, Medical and Surgical Insurance and Hospital Insurance. These components will be calculated on a yearly basis by individual. This total annual labour cost will then be divided by the number of available hours in a year. The available hours in one year are 1650 hours or 220 days (365 days per year less weekends (104), less statutory holidays (11), less annual leave (15), less sick leave (15), times 7.5 hours per day) unless otherwise specified in a collective agreement.

Direct Material Cost — Material cost which can be identified with and allocated to the provision of a service or goods. Material costs represent expected actual usage based on expected actual cost.
Minister of Communications Authority to Prescribe Fees Order — Minister of Communications Authority to Prescribe Fees Order
Equipment — Equipment cost includes depreciation (including the cost of capital), maintenance, and space where the usage of space for equipment is significant. Maintenance cost on equipment includes labour, material and direct maintenance expense where these costs are identifiable. Having calculated the yearly cost for depreciation, maintenance and space, these costs will be added together, then divided by the estimated number of hours the equipment will be used during the year to arrive at an hourly rate.

Government of Canada — As an accounting entity is defined in the Public Accounts, 1977, Volume 1, 1.3, as the aggregate of all its departments, agencies, boards, commissions, councils, Crown corporations, funds and other bodies, with two exceptions. These exceptions are the “Agencies” and “Proprietary”, Crown corporations listed respectively in Schedules C and D of the Financial Administration Act and those Crown corporations that are not subject to the Financial Administration Act .

Incremental Cost — An incremental cost is the direct cost associated with an activity which is within the mandate of the department but for which funds have not been included in the appropriation for that activity. For example, an appropriation may fund an activity to a level of 100 units. If more than 100 units are required, the incremental cost is the excess cost of producing the additional units.

Indirect Costs — These are the overhead costs of the Department and the Government of Canada. Overhead can be further defined as operating costs which cannot be directly allocated to a service or goods but can be allocated to the service or goods through some intervening basis of allocation such as direct labour cost. These costs would include statutory expenses plus those costs relating to the Departmental Budget for Administration as per the Main Estimates plus sector overhead plus services provided without charge by other government departments less formula indirect overhead recoveries from the Department of National Defence. Overhead costs are to be applied as a percentage on direct labour which consists of the basic annual salaries/wages plus shift premium and fringe benefits. As overhead costs for the next fiscal year will be known at the time of preparing the Operating Budgets and New Year Main Estimates, the overhead rate will be calculated at this time by the Comptroller’s Branch. The total overhead costs derived from the Operating Budgets will be divided by the total direct labour cost as defined above to arrive at the percentage to be applied. For fee schedule purposes then, this overhead rate will be applied to the direct labour cost associated with any one service.

Interest on the Undepreciated Capital Cost — The interest rate to be used is the current long term borrowing rate as established by the Government Finance — Loans, Investments and Guarantees Section, Economic Programs and Finance Branch, Department of Finance. This rate is to be applied to the undepreciated capital cost of the equipment in question, i.e., annual interest expense = capital cost less accumulated depreciation times the long term borrowing rate.

Maintenance — Maintenance costs on equipment include the labour costs of the individuals employed for the express purpose of maintaining the equipment. The amount of yearly maintenance labour to be charged against a given piece of equipment should be pro-rated based on the expected time spent during a one year period. The other two cost components of equipment maintenance are materials and direct expense. Material cost would be such items as the cost of replacement parts for a piece of equipment while an example of direct expense is maintenance contracts. Both these cost components should be estimated for a one-year period.

Space — Where certain pieces of equipment occupy a large area, an appropriate portion of the building cost in which it is housed must be allocated to it. Where the buildings are owned by the Department, the yearly expense would be the annual carrying cost which will be calculated annually by the Comptroller’s Branch as follows: Capital cost of the building × Capital Recovery Factor = annual carrying cost. The capital recovery factor is used to calculate what the equivalent of a present sum of money would be expressed in terms of equal annual installments over a specific number of years. The formula is: R = P [((i) (1 + i) n ) / (1 + i) n - (1))] where R = annual installment P = present sum of money i = interest rate n = number of years. The interest rate to be used will be the current long term borrowing rate as established by the Department of Finance. The number of years will be the estimated useful life of the building. This annual cost will be divided by the square feet of the building multiplied by the square feet the equipment occupies.
