AN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE OF NET PRESENT VALUE AND EQUIVALENT ANNUAL COST

open access: yesAccounting Historians Journal, 1982
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.

Net-present-value cost/time tradeoff

International Journal of Project Management, 1995
Abstract Cost/time tradeoff (CTTO) is used to increase the net benefit of a project by crashing selected activities. A new heuristic CTTO which balances cost, time and resources is presented. Most heuristic methods only balance two out of the three possible parameters at a time. The new method is called net-present-value CTTO.

Beyond cost tools: Spacecraft net present value and the hosted payload paradigm

2015 IEEE Aerospace Conference, 2015
This article is at the intersection of and integrates two broad considerations in the space industry, namely, the emergence of the hosted payload paradigm and the increased emphasis for the acquisition of space systems to be value driven. Spacecraft, and hosted payloads, are value delivery artifacts; their value derives from the flow of service they ...

A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE NET PRESENT VALUE AND THE BENEFIT‐COST RATIO AS MEASURES OF THE ECONOMIC DESIRABILITY OF INVESTMENTS

The Journal of Finance, 1969
Recent contributors in managerial finance have very largely been concerned with the more challenging of valuation and capital structure. As a consequence, several controversial but less provoking issues remain shelved and unresolved. This paper is essentially directed at one such issue - the merits of alternative criteria for measuring the economic ...

Cost Assessment of Direct Air Capture: Based on Learning Curve and Net Present Value

2022
Direct air capture (DAC) is a technological solution for climate change mitigation which removes CO2 directly from the atmosphere. Although there have been some policies and financial support, the current expensive cost makes the large-scale deployment of DAC full of uncertainty and challenges.

Average Costs versus Net Present Value [PDF]

open access: possible, 2000
While the net present value (NPV) approach is widely accepted as the right framework for studying production and inventory control systems, average cost (AC) models are more widely used. For the well known EOQ model it can be verified that (under certain conditions) the AC approach gives near optimal results, but does this also hold for more complex ...

Beyond its cost, the value of maintenance: An analytical framework for capturing its net present value

Reliability Engineering & System Safety, 2009
Abstract Maintenance planning and activities have grown dramatically in importance across many industries and are increasingly recognized as drivers of competitiveness if managed appropriately. Correlated with this observation is the proliferation of maintenance optimization techniques in the technical literature. But while all these models deal with
