W11.1_WAS_MARR based on full equity fund for Takoyaki

1. Problem Statement

For the follow up of CfH comment about my Week 11th Blog posting, in this posting I will discuss about the value of Minimum Attractive Rate of Return (MARR) as our basis to determine will a project be profitable or not?

There is a minimarket which has a big parking lot near to my house. Many food truck services park their “truck” there, from Kebab, meatball, noodles, to snow ice. Residential usually buy a snack in those food trucks when shopping at the minimarket. I wonder to make my own food truck, and I need to make sure that this business is feasible to proceed.

W11_AEP_Rebaselining the well work operation using Earned Value

Problem identification

Although earned value (EV) offering a new paradigm on well servicing operation monitoring to measure its performance, the operation itself still contain uncertainties. Well servicing is not a fixed project as the project done on the surface. When we’re working subsurface beneath the ground, so many uncertainties haunts the operation.

A workover operation was performed to shut off the watered formation and recomplete to produce the oil from the same formation. Recompletion means to change all existing completion string and replace with the new one. Unfortunately, we found difficulties when millng and fishing the packer which extends the duration and of course the cost. Decision was made to continue the operation. Looking at the progress and the performance, revision to the program is a necessity.

The EV approach is challenged to help us create and monitor the revised budget and duration.

W11.1_SSD_Selection of Solar Photovoltaic System Based on Payback Period

1. Problem Definition

In this blog I am going to do find out the Payback Period for my PV installation, based on the data that I had used for my W4 Blog. With this Blog, I also would like to use this blog to claim for Problem Solving Work for Engineering Economic Chapter 5 Evaluating a Single Project.

The Payback Period Method calculates the number of year for the cash inflow to just equal to the cast out flow. The Simple Payback Period calculation, which ignores the time value of money, is based on the following formula:

                                    (1-1)

R_k = excess of revenue over expenditure in period k;

E_k = excess of expenditure over revenue in period k;

Ɵ = payback period

I = capital investment at k=0

For Discounted payback Period calculation, which considers the time value of money, the calculation is based on the following equation:

                                (1-2)

Ɵ’ = discounted payback period

i% = MARR
