The Resource-constrained Project Scheduling Problem (Rcpsp), in which a schedule must obey the resource constraints and the precedence constraints between pairs of activities, is one of the most studied scheduling problems. An important variation of the problem (RcpspDc) is to find a schedule which maximises the net present value (discounted cash flow), when every activity has a given cash flow...

Lajos Juhász Institute of Corporate Economics Faculty of Economics NET PRESENT VALUE VERSUS INTERNAL RATE OF RETURN University of West Hungary [email protected] ABSTRACT. The economic professional literature which deals with investment decisions can be characterised in general that the net present value shows objective picture for the decision maker while the internal rate of return – not...

This study examines the objectives behind Algerian government’s investment in renewable energy—whether decision is for financial or socio-economic feasibility. The applies Net Present Value (NPV) method to provide an answer. findings show that feasibility, rather than sought from energy. latter remains inappropriate criterion assessing a project’s success failure. are helpful future studies bui...

This paper studies de Finetti’s optimal dividend problem with capital injection. We confirm the optimality of a double barrier strategy when underlying risk model follows Lévy process that may have positive and negative jumps. In contrast spectrally one-sided cases, strategies cannot be handled by using scale functions to obtain some properties expected net present values (NPVs) dividends injec...

One of the mostly used enhanced oil recovery methods is the injection of water or gas under pressure to maintain or reverse the declining pressure in a reservoir. Several parameters should be optimized in a fluid injection process. The usual optimizing methods evaluate several scenarios to find the best solution. Since it is required to run the reservoir simulator hundreds of times, the process...

The main purpose of this paper is to propose a fuzzy approach for investment project valuation in uncertain environments from the aspect of real options. The traditional approaches to project valuation are based on discounted cash flows (DCF) analysis which provides measures like net present value (NPV) and internal rate of return (IRR). However, DCF-based approaches exhibit two major pitfalls....

Biomass from palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) is considered as potential renewable energy sources to be developed in Indonesia. Palm EFB can efficiently converted into valuable and useful methanol products through gasification. Research about synthesis various biomass has been done. However, Little research production based on gasification found, no yet technoeconomic analysis of plant construction...
