Useful life being a statistical figure initially, but should be realistically refined during the 3rd and 4th quarters of that life, adjusting the "remaining life" accordingly.The chart for "Annual Expenses by Component" is actually a "cash flow" view of the scheduled replacements based on the component summary "remaining life".Now for the bad news...back to that $10K per owner shortage, or underfunding, to correct that and get on track with the actual 30 year plan (and for the moment we will assume the "Total Cost" figures are reasonably close, and all major elements are included in the component list), your maintenance fee needs to be increased by $795 per month for 12 months.
