Question

what information should i be providing

Answer 1

Cost analysis usually has to do with depreciation of an item used in business. It is basically used as a tax write-off. For example if you own a business and a computer cost you $1600.00 and you wanted to depreciate it over a four year period, you could write off $400.00 per year for 4 years; or you could write off the entire $1600.00 the "cost analysis" for the computer one time. You can only do one or the other the IRS will not let you do both. So basically based upon the "value" or "cost analysis" of that computer after four years it would no longer be an asset for your company.

Answer 2

an analysis of a cost. :P
