An industrial coal-fired boiler for process steam is
equipped with a 10-year-old electrostatic precipitator
(ESP). Changes in coal quality have caused stack
emissions to be in noncompliance with federal
standards for particulates. Two mutually exclusive
alternatives have been proposed to rectify this problem
(doing nothing is not an option). The MARR is 9% per
year. Make a recommendation regarding which
alternative to select.

The MARR is 9% per year. Make a recommendation regarding which alternative to select.
An integrated, combined cycle power plant produces 285 MW of electricity by gasifying coal. The capital investment for the plant is $570 million, spread evenly over two years. The operating life of the plant is expected to be 20 years. Additionally, the plant will operate at full capacity 75% of the time (downtime is 25% of any given year). The MARR is 6% per year. Solve, a. If this plant will make a profit of three cents per kilowatt-hour of electricity sold to the power grid, what is the simple payback period of the plant? Is it a low-risk venture? b. What is the IRR for the plant? Is it profitable?
