A plant that supplies 1 unit of electricity per year, costs $1 billion to build, lasts 25 years, and has an annual operating cost of $0.2 billion; it costs $0.1 billion to decommission the plant at the end of its lifetime (25 years). (Assume that the construction costs and the operating costs are paid at the beginning of the period, and that the decommissioning cost is paid at the end of the life of the plant.) The annual discount rate is r, with discount factor = 1/1+r . Write the formula for the present value of the cost of providing 1 unit of electricity for 100 years, including the decommissioning costs. (Hint: First find the present value of providing one unit of electricity for 25 years. Denote this magnitude as Z. Then find the present value of incurring this cost, Z, 4 times: in periods 0, 25, 50, and 75.)

A 60W incandescent light bulb costs $0.25 and lasts 1 year. A compact fluorescent light (CFL) capable of producing the same amount of light costs $2, consumes 13W, and lasts 8 years. Assume electricity costs $0.10/kWh, the bulbs are operated for 5 hrs/day, and all money spent is taken out of a saving account earning 2% interest. (a) What is the net present cost associated with the incandescent bulb? The CFL? (b) The carbon emissions rate for Duke-Progress Energy is...

Machinery costs $1 million today and $100,000 per year to operate. It lasts for 2 years. What is the equivalent annual annuity if the discount rate is 7%? Enter your answer in dollars and round to the cent. Remember that costs are negative cash flows; so, include the negative sign. Find the profitability index of a project with the following cash flows using a discount rate of 7%: Period 0: -1000 Period 1: 766 Period 2: 363 Period 3: 269...

Given the new found interest in nuclear power plants due to potential carbon taxes, you consider starting a company to build a nuclear power plant. Before you can build the plant, you need to gather permits, fight lawsuits and so forth. That will cost $800 million today and take 5 years to resolve with a 35% probability of success. If you build the plant, you must pay $9 billion the day you start building the plant, which is immediately after...

A new manufacturing plant costs $5,500,000 to build. Operating and maintenance costs are estimated to be $41,000 per year, and a salvage value of 25% of the initial cost is expected. The units the plant produces are sold for $40 each. Sales and production are designed to run 365 days per year. The planning horizon is 10 years. Find the break-even value for the number of units sold per day for each of the following values of MARR: 5% 10%...

Cornwall has been experiencing electricity shortages. The UK government is going to invest £1 billion (1 billion is 1000 million) over the next five years in an attempt to solve the Cornwall power shortage problem. It can invest in two types of power plants: Nuclear (N) and Hydroelectric (H). Every £1,000,000 invested into nuclear plants results in n megawatts capacity in two years (i.e. it takes two years to complete a nuclear plant). Every £1,000,000 invested into hydroelectric plants results...

A firm that purchases electricity from the local utility for $350,000 per year is considering installing a steam generator at a cost of $280,000. The cost of operating this generator would be $230,000 per year, and the generator will last for five years. If the firm buys the generator, it does not need to purchase any electricity from the local utility. The cost of capital is 13%. For the local utility option, consider five years of electricity purchases. For the...
A plant operation has fixed costs of $2,000,000 per year, and its output capacity is 100,000 electrical appliances per year. The variable cost is $40 per unit, and the product sells for $90 per unit.
A plant operation has fixed costs of $2,000,000per year, and its output capacity is 100,000 electricalappliances per year. The variable cost is $40 per unit, andthe product sells for $90 per unit.a. Construct the economic breakeven chart.b. Compare annual profit when the plant is operatingat 90% of capacity with the plant operation at 100%capacity. Assume that the first 90% of capacity outputis sold at $90 per unit and that the remaining 10% ofproduction is sold at $70 per unit.
