CAN ANYONE PLZ HELP ME?

The following problem is an extract of the Question no 20( page no 4.22) of IPCC Practice Manual .

In a factory, a machine is 208 hours per month. It includes maintenance time 8 hrs, set up time 20 hrs. Set up time though productive bt does not require power. power is required for productive purpose only. Power required 25 units per hour at Rs. 2 per unit. What will be expense of power consumption for computing comprehensive machine hour rate?

As we know power consumption per machine hour = [ power consumption unit per hour * (working hrs - maintenance hr - set up hours during which no power is consumed) * Rate of power per unit ] divide by (total productive or effective machine hours )

My computation ;
Power Exp/ Machine hr = [25 units per hour * (208-8-20) hr * Rs. 2 per unit] divide by  (208-8) hr = Rs. 45 per hr
 

Practice manual computation
power Exp / machine hr = [ 25 units per hour * (208-8-20) hr * rs. 2 per unit ] divide by (208-8-20) hr = Rs 50 per hour    

Which one is correct? If my computation is wrong can u plz explain to clear my confusion?

Thanking U All

According to me the computation of practice manual is correct.

Thank u CA  BINIT SHAH. But sir what is the total productive hours?
 as the set up time is productive so total productive hours should be 208-8 = 200
bt practice manual solution takes it 208-8-20 = 180. can u plz help me to clear this confution by explaining it.

Effectively the power is not used during setup hence the 20 hours of setup is also deducted when calculating net productive hours.
