This report described investment and loan plans for the agricultural sector following the changing circumstances of Korea’s agricultural policies, the direct payment programs, the agricultural crop insurance and the management risk control schemes, which are considered to be key support...

Der Beitrag untersucht die Vorteilhaftigkeit der Investition in private Photovoltaik-Aufdachanlagen (PV-Anlagen). Die Förderung durch das Energieeinspeisegesetz (EEG) bei Einspeisung des selbsterzeugten Stroms in das öffentliche Stromnetz sowie die hohen Vergütungssätze für den...

The Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problem (RCPSP) is been studied under different kinds of constraints and limitations. In this paper, we are going to consider the discounted cash flows for project activities, and delay penalties which occur when the project make span exceeds its...

Applications of stochastic evolutionary algorithms in engineering are gaining more attention in practical applications in the oil and gas industry. An important factor to consider when implementing stochastic algorithms is its ability to find the global optimum efficiently. In this study the...

The evaluation of the efficiency of investments relies on a system of measures based on actuarial techniques that consider the time value of money. One of the common measures used is the Internal Rate of Return (IRR). Commonly, by applying of the efficiency evaluation criteria, result consistent...

This paper sets forth a capital budgeting technique that is both theoretically correct and sensitive to the special financing needs of the small business. This technique involves evaluating cash flows and determining if they are sufficient to meet the loan payment schedule. A sufficient amount...

This paper sets forth a pair of distinctive contributions to the subject. In the first place, it provides a unified approach to capital investment decisions, by means of a two-tiered framework of analysis. Such approach consists in working out the net present value of the project by discounting...

Resource-constrained project scheduling under a net present value objective attracts growing interest. Because this is an NP-hard problem, it is unlikely that optimum solutions can be computed for large instances. Thus, heuristics have become a popular research field. Up to now, however, tight...

A flow line consists of a sequence of work places (or stations) through which one or more producta (or models) move one-way in order to be processed. Each model requires specific Operations which must be performed in a predefined Order. To be able to do so, the stations must be equipped with...

The present study investigates the impact of various factors affecting coal-fired power plant economics of 210 MW subcritical unit situated in north India for electricity generation. In this paper, the cost data of various units of thermal power plant in terms of power output capacity have been...
