Acquisition costs have several branches for the tree as shown in Figure 5-7.
Each branch of the acquisition tree also has other branches that are described in
detail in such references as SAE (1993) and Fabrycky (1991).
Sustaining costs have several branches for the tree as shown in Figure 5-8.
What cost goes into each branch of the acquisition and sustaining branches? It all
depends on the specific case and is generally driven by common sense. Consider the
details under each category.
