Cost Drivers. Please provide a short synopsis of what you consider the current cost drivers to be in this market? To what degree, if any, do these costs fluctuate? Are there any future cost that are anticipated to impact on your business over the next years? Answer:
Cost Drivers. Planning Definition Analysis preparation Analysis Reporting A cost driver is a variable that has a strong influence on the costs. By changing the value of a cost driver, the costs will change significantly. It is important to identify cost drivers because these are the parameters that can change the costs considerably and are therefore potential en- ablers for cost reduction. An example is the Resilient SCADA security measure: the level of accepted risk is a major cost driver because it determines the number of servers, which in turn determines part of the costs. A design characteristic can also be a cost driver. In that case, costs can possibly be reduced by changing the design.
Cost Drivers. Actual Costs, net of recoverable value-added taxes, will be used to the extent known, based on the then-current systems and processes of PwC Firm and PwC Member Firms, as required by Section 6 of the SEC No-Action Letter. If actual Costs cannot be determined as described herein, Cost Drivers will be used until such time as PwC Firm develops systems and processes to determine actual Costs, if ever. "Cost Driver" means the best basis for approximation of actual Costs which is readily available and determinable from current practices and processes that measure the Costs of providing a service (e.g., headcount or square footage for occupancy). "Global Default Cost Drivers" have been developed for each major Service category, and are attached hereto as part of SCHEDULE D. The Parties are required to use such Global Default Cost Drivers unless the Parties have a method for determining costs that is a better approximation of actual Costs. Where such local alternative Cost Drivers ("Local Cost Drivers") are used, they are described in the Local Term Sheet. If there are no Local Cost Drivers or Global Default Cost Drivers which are applicable to or compatible with the systems then in use by PwC Firm, the Parties will agree upon appropriate estimations and will use commercially reasonable efforts to develop Cost Drivers for PwC Firm. The Global Default Cost Drivers set forth on SCHEDULE D, the Local Cost Drivers and appropriate estimations developed due to the absence of Local Cost Drivers will be reviewed at least once each year, and any changes thereto which will result in the allocation of Costs on a basis closer to actual will be implemented promptly after such review.
