6.1. The capital cost of a plant to produce 100 t per day of aniline was 8.5 million US dollars in mid-1992. Estimate the cost in pounds sterling in January 2004. Take the exchange rates as: £1 = $2.0 in mid-1992 and £1 = $1.8 in January 2004

If an ammonia plant that produces 600,000 pounds per year cost $2,800,000 to construct eight years ago, what would a 1,500,000-pound-per-year plant cost now? Suppose that the construction cost index has increased at an average rate of 12% per year for the past eight years and that the cost-capacity factor (X) to reflect economy of scale is 0.65.

The cost of controlling emissions at a firm rises rapidly as the amount of emissions reduced increases. Here is a possible model: C(q) = 4,900 + 91q2 where q is the reduction in emissions (in pounds of pollutant per day) and C is the daily cost to the firm (in dollars) of this reduction. What level of reduction corresponds to the lowest average cost per pound of pollutant? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) ______ pounds of pollutant per day What would be the resulting average cost to the nearest dollar? _____$ per pound

An old 100-MW power plant has a heat rate of 13,000 Btu/kWh and burns a fuel that costs $2.90/MBtu. The owner of the plant estimates the fixed cost of keeping the plant available at $360,000 per year. What is the minimum price that would justify keeping this plant available if it has a 1% utilization rate? Compare this price with the average production cost of the plant.
