CAPITALIZED COST
PROFITABILITY
Useful for comparing alternatives within a
single project. (Recall the stainless steel vs.
Mild steel reactor example)
BASIC EQUATION :
CR
K = CV + (1 i)n 1
But CV = CR+VS. Then
(1 i)n
CR (1 i)n 1
K=
+ VS
(1 i)n
(1 i)n 1 : Capitalized Cost factor.

General formula
Cap. Cost = K + KO+ Working Capital
PAYOUT PERIOD
Minimum length of time needed to
recover the investment in a form of
cash flow.
FCI
Payout = Average Cash Flow
Other names are: Payback, Payoff, Cash
Recovery period.
Inclusion of Interest
FCI Interest on TCI
Payout = Average Cash Flow
Interest on TCI is calculated as annual
cash flows discounted at interest rate I to
get an average annual value.
