Annually, depreciation and interest costs total $9,900 (($18.70 per hour depreciation + $14.30 per hour interest) x 300 hours). These $9,900 of costs are incurred by owning the tractor and do not change with annual use. On a per hour basis, depreciation and interest costs increase as hours of use decrease. At 150 hours of use, for example, depreciation and interest costs equal $66 per hour ($9,900 / 150 hours).
Step 15 Revise your full draft. If you have already written a first draft, move on to revising. Note: If you'd like, you can begin by printing out one of your responses from getting started. You may have written an outline or started with freewriting or just jotted down some notes.
Balance your essay. Be sure to talk about the project itself as well as the educational benefits of the research. As you are writing the personal side of the essay it may help in your draft to tell the story of your motivations for getting involved. But in your final essay, pull out only those points that are relevant to your current experience.
