Abstract:
Financial analysts generally create static formulas for the computation of NPV. When they do so, however, it is not readily apparent how sensitive the value of NPV is to changes in multiple interdependent and interrelated variables. It is the aim of this paper to analyze this variability by employing a dynamic, visually graphic presentation using Excel. Our approach illustrates how these variables, when increased or decreased to reflect the potential range of values in a business case, change the value of NPV, and hence affect the decision about whether to proceed with the project or to reject

One of the most common performance measures in selection and management of projects is the Net Present Value (NPV). In the paper, we study a case when initial data about the NPV parameters (cash flows and the discount rate) are represented in the form of intervals supplied by experts. A method for computing the NPV based on using random set theory is proposed and three conditions of independence of the parameters are taken into account. Moreover, the imprecise Dirichlet model for obtaining more cautious bounds for the NPV is considered. Numerical examples illustrate the proposed approach for c

Summary Model-based economic optimization of oil production has a significant scope to increase financial life-cycle performance. The net-present-value (NPV) objective in this optimization, because of its nature, focuses on long-term gains, whereas short-term production is not explicitly addressed. At the same time, the achievable NPV is highly uncertain because of strongly varying economic conditions and limited knowledge of the reservoir-model parameters. The prime focus of this work is to develop optimization strategies that balance both long-term and short-term economic objectives and also

Abstract The Net Present Value (NPV) approach is widely applied to assess forest investments, but this method has serious shortcomings, which we propose to overcome by switching to the assessment through the Real Options Approach (ROA). The model in this paper starts with the simulation of the forest’s growth, combined with the projection of the products’ prices and valuing the assets using a binomial model. We include an option of postponement, determining the optimal period of felling. We find that ROA is more robust than the NPV approach because it relaxes the assumption of constancy of bot

Results indicate that the net present value (NPV) of organic production under current market conditions is 21% lower than the NPV of conventional production.

Abstract:
Abstract Despite a growing body of evidence that highlights the economic, social and environmental benefits of mobile pastoralism, few governments are ready to tolerate mobility and many policy makers promote knowingly or inadvertently the policies of sedentarization. This production system seems not to be clearly understood by many and has been characterized as backward, environmentally destructive and economically unsustainable; and the view is that it should be replaced with more sedentary forms of livestock production or other beneficial land uses. The overriding question is whether sedentary livestock keeping is more productive and utilizes fewer resources and less space than the mobile pastoral system. This study carried out a comparative cost-benefit analysis of the two production systems in selected villages of Kiteto and Karatu districts. The aim was to come up with credible data to test this hypothesis. Two alternatives were compared in terms of their net present value (NPV) to test a null hypothesis. The alternative with an NPV greater than zero or higher than its alternative was accepted to be more viable compared with the one with an NPV less than zero or less than its alternative. Whenever the NPV of the sedentary production system in the analysis was shown to be greater than zero and/or greater than the NPV of the mobile pastoral production system the null hypothesis was accepted and vice versa. The study was conducted in Makame village of Kiteto District and Dofa village of Karatu District. Makame village represents a mobile pastoral production system while Dofa village represents a sedentary production system. The study employed a quantitative approach using a household survey in the two villages. The comparative cost-benefit analysis was carried out using monetary values derived from the livestock unit statistical approach. The findings have revealed that the average cost of maintaining a mobile pastoral and sedentary production systems are TSh90,096,333 and TSh112,295,200, respectively. The cost-benefit ratios are 1:0.5 for a mobile pastoral production system and 1:0.25 for the sedentary one.

Abstract:
Offshore wind farm managers are under increasing pressure to minimise life cycle costs whilst maintaining reliability or availability targets, and to operate within safety regulation. This paper presents a risk based decision-making methodology for undertaking run-repair-replace decisions with the ultimate aim of maximising the Net Present Value (NPV) of the investment in maintenance. The paper presents the methodology developed for the risk based life management of Offshore Wind farms under the remit of the CORLEX (Cost Reduction and Life Extension of Offshore Wind Farms) project funded by DT

Abstract:
Abstract In order to properly meet up with the ever-increasing demand for petroleum products worldwide, it has become increasingly necessary to produce oil and gas fields more economically and efficiently. Waterflooding is currently the most widely used secondary recovery method to improve oil recovery after primary depletion. A crucial component required to conduct an efficient waterflooding operation is an optimal production setting, most especially with respect to the amount of water involved. This research work has been carried out to develop a model that can be used to maximize oil recove

Abstract:
Though little research has been done in the field of over-design as a product development strategy, an over-design approach can help products avoid the issue of premature obsolescence. This paper compares over-design to redesign as approaches to address the emergence of future requirements. Net present value (NPV) analyses of several real world applications are examined from the perspective of manufacturers and customers. This analysis is used to determine the conditions under which an over-design approach provides a greater benefit than a redesign approach. Over-design is found to have a high

Abstract:
Abstract Optimizing multiple assets under uncertain techno-economic conditions and tight government policies is challenging. Operator needs to establish flexible Plan of Development (POD)s and put priority in developing multiple fields. The complexity of production and the profit margin should be simultaneously evaluated. In this work, we present a new workflow to perform such a rigorous optimization under uncertainty using the case study of PHE ONWJ, Indonesia. We begin the workflow by identifying the uncertain parameters and their prior distributions. We classify the parameters into three ma

Abstract:
We consider a problem commonly faced in the nuclear power industry, involving annual selection of plant capital investments under the constraints of a limited and uncertain budget. When the budget is assumed known, a typical approach to such problems is built on a multi-dimensional knapsack model. This model takes as input the available budget in each year, the stream of liabilities induced by selecting each project, and the profit, i.e., net present value (NPV), of each project. The goal is to select the portfolio of projects with the highest total NPV, while observing the budget constraint f

Abstract The ultimate goal of sand control design in producing hydrocarbons is to obtain solids free at lowest cost per barrel. Therefore, predictable production and its associated cost is vital to achieve the best business value. Previously, the prediction of production from sand control well is cumbersome. This paper presents the novel method which using the field data to provide the insight of sand control and deliver an optimal design for the sanding propensity well.
