Generally speaking, a DCF valuation consists of two parts: a near-term cash flow projection discounted back, and:
| a terminal value which captures the value of long-term cash flows |
| a premium value which captures the near-term risk components |
| a contingent value which captures upside volatility in the cash flows |
| an uncertainty value which adjusts the cash flows for the downside risk |

2. what effect would a reduction in atmosphericpressure have on the boiling point of ethyl acetate? explain
3. what is themperature gradient in the Vigreux column; is it low near the bootm and high near the top or vice versa?

On April 1, Paine Co. began construction of a small building.
Payments of $234,960 were made monthly for four months beginning on
April 1. The building was completed and ready for occupancy on
August 1. For the purpose of determining the amount of interest
cost to be capitalized, calculate the weighted-average accumulated
expenditures on the building by completing the schedule
below:

What is the present value of the following planned cash flow for a 25 year power plant project? Assume that the annual cost of money is 4.2%. Draw the cash flow diagram and present your solution. Initial Investment (construction costs) - $60,000,000 Annual operating costs - $750,000 Annual maintenance costs - $95,000 Projected decommissioning expenses – $13,000,000 Projected income from scrap - $350,000

Climate change is a daunting problem facing humanity today. One way to mitigate this problem in the construction industry is to "build green". Green buildings have many benefits, but their initial cost is mostly higher that conventional buildings. In your opinion, should Green Star certification be made a mandatory requirement for all new developments (both residential and non-residential) in Australia? How could this be achieved?

I found the discussion of self constructed assets to be interesting. These would be assets that the company itself builds instead of buys. The book talks about the difficulties in establishing the cost of the asset. How much of the company's overhead should be allocated to the project? How should interest incurred during construction be handled? There are a few options/opinions about how to handle overhead, which do you find to be best?
