 The information provided from the last chapter statistical-budgeting System is summarised in cost per metre square per technology.
In this chapter we show its application in financial terms to the income levels of the community, interest rate on loan, years of payments and monthly payments.

The reference data used in this chapter has been taken from the project "Programa de vivienda para el sur de Machala, Ecuador 1993"

Sucres US Dollar
Dollar rate at June 1993   1,950.oo 1.oo
Minimum monthly income salary 117,000.oo 60.oo
Total cost of house  11,470,439.oo  5,882.28
House floor area:  71.oo m2
Total families involved in the project 250

Two applications are proposed:
1 Graphical Variable Correlations
2 Trade-off Technologies for affordability and cost recovery Software

Graphical Variable Correlations
Correlations between technological alternatives, affordability, cost recovery and income categories provide a graphical method.
This graph provides the flexibility of starting from any entry or variable.
The entries are represented on "X" and "y" axes, the variables are represented on converging axes.
For the graphical representation (charts) the software is based on Claris Cad® version 2.02 and for the animation on Microsoft Power Point 3.0.

Trade-off Software
This is a software with five spreadsheets-Charts. They are interlinked with two input spreadsheets. This software uses the same information as the graphical variable correlations but provides the exact output figures for each input.
