ChemEng Economics Calculator

- Version 1.0.2

ChemEng Economics Calculator was mainly made to do the
basic method of estimating the Net Present Value of a
process plant. This easy to use software also include
few small calculators, below is a list of the main
features:(A) Net Present Value- the software goes
through a series of calculations to do the estimate!.
Starting from,1.Fixed Capital Investment: the ability
to chose from "Purchased Cost" of plant items, hence
the estimation of FIXED&TOTAL CAPITAL INVESTMENT
(Direct and Indirect Costs), OR "Installed Costs" of
plant items where the software will use a FIXED CAPITAL
INVESTMENT multiplyer to take into accout the
additional cost associated with building the
plant.2.Operating Labour: through a basic series of
"Auxiliary Facilities" and "Process Equipment" lists
the software will estimate the TOTAL NUMBER OF OPERATOR
NEEDED & ANNUAL COST OF OPERATING LABOUR. You simply
enter the "Expected Annual Salary of Operators in The
Plant" and "The Number of Units", the software will
then calculate the "THE NUMBER OF OPERATORS NEEDED PER
SHIFT" .
3. Utilities: To calculate the "TOTAL UTILITY
COSTS/YEAR".4.Raw Materials & Profits:Calculates the
ANNUAL cost of Raw Materials and ANNUAL Products
Profits.5.Production Costs: Calculate the ANNUAL
Production Costs (customised
calculations).6.Assumptions: The software uses
assumptions to estimate the NET PRESENT VALUE.You can
customise the assumptions to suit your needs, "Plant
Construction Period up to 5 Years", "Depreciation
Period from 3 to 20 Years", "Plant Operation Period up
to 20 Years", you can also set the "Tax Rate %",
"Discounted Cash Flow Rate %" and "Salvage Value %",
You can also SET INFLATION RATE.
