Benefit‐Cost Ratios Versus Net Present Value: Revisited

Journal of Business Finance & Accounting, 1974
This paper extends the rigorous examination and comparison, begun by Schwab and Lusztig, of the ranking characteristics of Benefit‐Cost Ratios and Net Present Value. The algebraic analysis shows the circumstances under which these evaluation techniques give a contradictory ranking of investment projects and identifies the differing implicity ...

Environmental costs and their impact on the net present value of a hydro-electric project in Kerala, India

Environment and Development Economics, 2003
This paper presents the operational procedures involved in incorporating the environmental costs in the cost–benefit analysis of a hydro-electric project. The proposed project, if implemented, would result in the loss of 2,800 hectares of tropical forests and dislocation of two settlements of about 200 families who are currently dependent on the ...

Average Costs versus Net Present Value: A Comparison for Multi-source Inventory Models

2002
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 ...

Performance and cost evaluation of solar dish power plant: sensitivity analysis of levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) and net present value (NPV)

Renewable Energy, 2021
Abstract Solar dish (SD) technology is recognized as one of the most efficient solar thermal technologies for electricity generation. Moreover, SD technology has proven its suitability and reliability in solar energy potentials areas that are scarce to have water.

The complicated transaction: Using net present value to weigh the costs and benefits of the cash-out refinance

Housing Policy Debate, 2011
Cash-out refinance transactions present unique challenges for borrowers as they involves a myriad of moving financial variables, making it difficult to evaluate the costs and benefits of the loans. While many states have passed legislation to protect borrowers from loan flipping by “net tangible benefit” requirements, no standard financial analysis has

The trade‐off between the net present cost of a project and the probability to complete it on schedule

Journal of Operations Management, 1986
AbstractIn this article we consider the probability of not completing a project on schedule (or the risk of delays) and its effect on the net present cost of the project. We propose an efficient frontier that points out to management the trade‐off between low risk, early start schedules and high risk, late start schedules.

The Net Present Value in Dynamic Adjustment Cost Models of the Firm

1989
In this chapter the influence of adjustment costs on optimal dynamic investment behavior of the firm is studied. Adjustment costs could be caused by market circumstances (external adjustment costs) and/or the adjustment of capital and/or labor within the firm (internal adjustment costs).

Optimal placement and operation of BESS in a distribution network considering the net present value of energy losses cost

2015 9th International Conference on Electrical and Electronics Engineering (ELECO), 2015
In recent years, penetration of battery energy storage systems in distribution networks is increased. This is because of increasing interest to integrate energy storage devices into the power system smart grid. Integrating energy have simultaneously goal with smart grid, which are improve the reliability and satisfactory operation of power system ...

Specific net present value: An improved method for assessing modularisation costs in water services with growing demand

Water Research, 2009
A specific net present value (SNPV) approach is introduced as a criterion in economic engineering decisions. The SNPV expresses average costs, including the growth rate and plant utilisation over the planning horizon, factors that are excluded from a standard net present value approach.
