Question

5. An energy installation costs Rs. 4 crore. The cash inflow over 5 yrs is expected to be Rs. 100 lakh for first 2 yrs, 150 lakh for the next 2 yrs and 250 lakh in the 5th yr. Assuming a discount rate of 15% and salvage value of Rs. 1 crore at the end of 5 years, calculate its NPV in crores (1 crore = 100 lakh) A hypothetical wind turbine takes one year to build and costs $ 1.5 million. The operating and maintenance costs are $ 300,000 for the first year and expected to grow by 2% every year. There are no associated fuel costs. The wind turbine's lifespan is 5 years, and it is estimated to produce 3 million kWh each year. Considering a discount rate of 8%, calculate the LCOE (1 million = 10$^6$)

The Volt Company is considering investing in a wind turbine to generate its own power. Any unused power will be sold back to the local utility company. Between cost savings and new revenues, the company expects to generate $750,000 per year in net cash inflows from the turbine. The turbine would cost $4 million and is expected to have a 20-year useful life with no residual value. Calculate the payback period. First enter the formula, then calculate the payback period. (Enter amounts in the formula as whole dollars and not in millions. Round the payback period to two decimal places.) Payback period: years

A household installs a 2 kW wind turbine for a total installed cost of $9000. At the end of its 20-year life, it is expected to have a salvage value of 10% of the capital cost. After 10 years, the wind turbine requires an overhaul, costing $1200. The wind turbine has a capacity factor of 28%. The value of the electricity saved is $0.23/kWh. What is the internal rate of return of this project? (Answer to the first decimal place in %, no % sign) (Tip: write the PW and tabulate versus discount rate, determine the discount rate that gives the PW=0)

Your project team is working on a revolutionary product in green energy. The marketing team expects profits at the end of the first year (1) to be $185,000 and grow at the rate of an additional $20,000 each year through the end of year 4. By the end of year 4, profits will be uniform at $245,000 through year 7, then decline by $10,000 each year in years 8-10, the end of its useful life. There will be no salvage value. The initial cost of this project is $500,000 and the MARR is 20%. What is the Present Worth of this project?

00:01 Hi, today we are solving the question in which the turbine cost is equal to dollar 4 million.
00:13 That is equals to 4 .000000000.
00:22 Similarly, net cash flow per year is given by dollar 7 .7.
00:37 It is also.
00:38 Also in dollars, $7 ,500 ,000.
00:42 That is 7 -l like 50 ,000...
