Net present value and equivalent annual cost are two discounted cash flow criteria for comparing investment proposals. Why have accountants taken to net present value? Why do engineers readily use equivalent annual cost? This paper investigates the historical development of these principles to provide an explanation of why this is so.

Delhi Petroleum Pty Ltd, as operator, has been responsible for the development of eight oilfields in the South Australian sector of the Cooper Basin since 1982. Some of these field developments are economically marginal, hence the need to optimise those aspects of the facilities which impact on the ongoing cost of production and the overall profitability. A phased development approach has evolved over the past three years to reduce the external financing requirements and to improve the certainty of the data used to define the key elements of each project.For the successful completion of the project a task force approach to project management is utilised, supported by the use of computerised project planning and control systems. Further, it is important to define and agree on the design criteria and philosophy for the project at the commencement, this providing a base by which to measure scope changes, and so that all concerned are working to a common goal.The use of economic analysis as a decision-making tool during all phases of the project assists the project team to home in on the key objective which is to maximise the project net present value. Comparative economics and sensitivity analysis are used at the conceptual stage to select the preferred development option, e.g. pipeline versus trucking.The design of surface facilities is dictated by a wide range of criteria including the above development philosophy. The variable nature of these criteria demonstrates that each new field development must normally be engineered individually to ensure the target of maximum net present value can be achieved.The Gidgealpa Crude Oil Development Project demonstrates the effectiveness of the above methodology and philosophies. The field was discovered in August 1984, and early production and trucking of oil commenced in January 1985 with 374 000 bbls produced prior to commissioning of the pipeline to Moomba in September 1985.

To measure the value of a technology investment under uncertainty with standard techniques like net present value (NPV) or return on investment (ROI) will often uncover the difficulty to present convincing business case. Projected cash flows are inefficient or the discount rate chosen to compensate for the risk is so high, that it is disagreeable to the investor’s requirements. Decision making and feasibility studies have to look beyond traditional analysis to reveal the strategic value of a technology investment. Here, a Real Option Analysis (ROA) offers a powerful alternative to standard discounted cash-flow (DCF) methodology by risk-adjusting the cash flow along the decision path rather than risk adjusting the discount rate. Within the GEN IV initiative attention is brought not only towards better sustainability, but also to broader industrial application and improved financing. Especially the HTR design is full of strategic optionalities: The high temperature output facilitates penetration into other non-electricity energy markets like industrial process heat applications and the hydrogen market. The flexibility to switch output in markets with multi-source uncertainties reduces downside risk and creates an additional value of over 50% with regard to the Net Present Value without flexibility. The supplement value of deploying a modular (V)HTR design adds over 100% to the project value using real option evaluation tools. Focus of this paper was to quantify the strategic value that comes along a) with the modular design; a design that offers managerial flexibility adapting a step-by-step investment strategy to the actual market demand and b) with the option to switch between two modes of operation, namely electricity and hydrogen production. We will demonstrate that the effect of uncertain electricity prices can be dampened down with a modular HTR design. By using a real option approach, we view the project as a series of compound options — each option depending on the exercise of those that preceded it. At each end of the design phase, the viability will be reviewed conditional on the operating spread at each time step. We quantify the value of being able to wait with the investment into a next block until market conditions are favourable and to be able to abandon one block if market conditions are disapproving. To derive the intrinsic value of this multi block HTR design, it will be compared with a reference investment of a full commitment light water reactor without any managerial flexibility. In another case, we raise the question to what extent product output diversification is a suitable strategy to cope with long term market uncertainty in electricity price. What is the value of a multi-potent technology that is able to produce output for energy markets others than the electricity market? To investigate this, we concentrate on The Netherlands, a country with an intense industrial demand in electricity and hydrogen.

Real Options methods are currently used to assess investment projects considering: (1) the decision options that one can have along the development of the project, such as to expand it, or reduce it, or to abandon it, or to differ it, and (2) the uncertainty in some financial variables for the assessment of the economic investment. In these two regards, Real Options methods are superior to the traditional Net Present Value method. The purpose of the present paper is to establish the basis for Real Options modeling for decision making on design, inspection, maintenance, and decommissioning of offshore structures. The use of Real Options theory is sought in order to account for: (1) uncertainties in the financial variables involved in risk assessment based on expected costs, such as the economic consequences due to failure of a system; and (2) uncertainties associated with the resistance and loading of the structure for reliability assessment. An application of Real Options Theory is given in the paper for decision making on maintenance for an offshore structure. Cash flow from oil revenue is modeled as a stochastic process. Preventive and corrective maintenance is analyzed as a critical situation where the decision maker has the option to pay the costs of maintenance in order to obtain a benefit. Expressions are derived for the estimation of the value of the maintenance option; they are based on the derivation of the Black-Scholes equation for the evaluation of financial options. It is shown that the value of such project is equal to the sum of the net cash flow of the project (as with a Net Present Value evaluation) plus the value of the maintenance option. Projects with one and two decision times along the life of the structure are formulated and analyzed. Closed form solutions are obtained for such cases. An example is given in order to illustrate the differences between maintenance decisions using the Net Present Value and the Real Options method.

This study aims to the examination of the economic potential for the Abu Marawat Gold Project (AGP) in the Eastern Desert of Egypt and prediction the decision about go/not-to-go to invest in the deposit location. Discount Cash Flow (DCF) model used to calculate the Net Present Value (NPV) for the proposed gold mine project. NPV calculated by taking the risk and uncertainty produced from geological and technical factors into account. The actual production and cost data for Sukari Gold Mine (SGM) of Egypt used a benchmark for the theoretical calculation for production and cost data of AGP. From the valuation processes for AGP the NPV for the project predominantly positive, so, the project is acceptable to investment.

Yayasan Nur Fadila yang beroperasi di beberapa wilayah di Indonesia seperti di Surabaya, Malang, Kediri dan Semarang selama ini berfokus pada pengembangan pondok pesantren dengan berbasis pada pembelajaran ilmu agama islam dan pengetahuan umum. Namun untuk saat ini Hidayatullah mengembangkan klinik kesehatan bagi masyarakat sekitar pondok pesantren. Sebagai salah satu gedung yang baru beroperasi di lingkungan pondok, maka klinik perlu melakukan analisis ulang tentang tarif yang berlaku pada saat ini. Adapun metode yang dipergunakan untuk menyelesaikan masalah tersebut adalah metode Break Even Point dan Net Present Value dengan suku bunga sebesar 12%. Dalam penyelesaiannya dengan metode BEP maka akan dimasukkan tarif yang berlaku saat ini. Dari analisa ini diperoleh tarif pada kondisi BEP sebesar Rp 36.919. Dengan cara trial and error pada cash flow melalui pendekatan Net Present Value yaitu dengan menjumlahkan tarif kelas pada kondisi Break even Point dengan asumsi kenaikan x% dari tarif normal pada kondisi BEP sehingga diperoleh Net Present Value yang lebih besar dari nol. Sehingga diperoleh hasil tarif kelas yang dicari pada kondisi NPV adalah sebesar Rp 92.298,-.

Iagifu-Hedinia oil field was discovered in 1986 in the remote Highlands of PNG following a multi-year exploration effort. Exploration and subsequent field development of PNG's first petroleum export project were carried out without the aid of seismic data due primarily to the intense karst development in the area. Because of historically low oil prices and the remote and difficult environment, the decision to develop the field did not occur until late 1990. First oil was produced in June 1992, with successful development dependent upon an intense focus on cost management, land owner and government relations, and most critically an early commitment to active reservoir management by an empowered and multi-disciplinary reservoir management team (MDRM team). This MDRM team added as much as an incremental 70 MMBBL oil and US$240 million of net present value to the project. This resulted from its being given responsibility for reservoir characterisation, reserve estimation, economic analysis, and active reservoir management. At its core the team consisted of both petroleum engineers and earth scientists, but incorporated numerous other disciplines as they were needed. Key to this success was the support and endorsement of management to a truly empowered team.

The purpose of th article is to substantiate the possibility of applying methods for assessing the effectiveness and risks of investing for the analysis of income in the strategic management of real property. Methodology. The methodical bases of sensitivity analysis and simulation modeling of cash flows of real property income are stated. Results. The critical factors of costs and revenues affecting net present value of total cash flow from grain elevator real property object have been revealed. It is evidenced that the most significant factors influencing the amount of cash flows are the volume of sales of grain elevator services, to a lesser extent the total costs and the lack of sensitivity of net present value to staff salary variations. Simulation modeling of the change in net present value due to the change of the most significant uncertain factors was performed, which confirmed the assumptions about the efficiency of the investigated real property. The key factors are the main services that generate net operating income and critical expenses. Namely, services: storage, drying, shipment by road and rail, costs: fuel for drying, electricity, fuel for transportation of grain, staff salaries. For each factor, the relevant limits of change were established (determined by experts taking into account the average annual growth rate of the indicator) and cash flow simulation was performed. Practical implications. Statistical analysis of the model's behavior under the influence of random factors shows that the most probable value of the net present value of cash flows will be positive, despite the simulation of a significant change (+/- 40%) in electricity and fuel consumption factors for grain transportation. The values of the simple and discounted payback period also confirm the efficiency of the elevator property functioning. The indicator of the stability level demonstrate the need of planning input cash flows sources to cover the output cash flows. Value/originality. The expected profitability of grain elevator real property is largely determined by the factor of the volume of basic services sales (storage, drying, shipment and transport of products). This creates the preconditions for the subsequent assessment of the value of grain elevator real property based on the methodology of the income approach.
