The manufacturing cost consists of direct, indirect, distribution, and fixed costs. Direct costs are raw materials, operating labor, production supervision, utihties, suppHes, repair, and maintenance. Typical indirect costs include payroll overhead, quaHty control, storage, royalties, and plant overhead, eg, safety, protection, personnel, services, yard, waste, environmental control, and other plant categories. However, environmental control costs are frequendy set up as a separate account and calculated direcdy. The principal distribution costs are packaging and shipping. Fixed costs, which are insensitive to production level, include depreciation, property taxes, rents, insurance, and, in some cases, interest expense. 

Federal Income Tax. The calculation of the federal income tax depends on the current tax laws. State income taxes are often included in this line item, since many are directly proportional to the federal taxes. 

Labor Expenses. In the majority of situations, projects will cause a company s labor requirements to change. This change could be a positive effect that increases available productive time, or there could be a decrease in employees production time depending upon the practice. When computing labor expenses, the Tier 1 costs could be significant. Labor expense calculations can be simplistic or comprehensive. The most direct and basic approach is to multiply the wage rate by the hours of labor. More comprehensive calculations include the associated costs of payroll taxes, administration, and benefits. Many companies routinely track these costs and establish an internal burdened labor rate to use in financial analysis. 

In electrical power stations a new measure of the performance is the amount of CO2 produced per unit of electricity generated, i.e. A = kg(C02)/kWh this quantity can be non-dimensionalised by writing A = A( 16/44)(LCV) where (16/44) is the mass ratio of fuel to CO2 for methane and (LCV) in its lower heating value. However, presenting the plant s green performance in terms of A directly allows the cost of any tax on the carbon dioxide to be added to the untaxed cost of electricity production most easily. 

The first questions to be considered when designing a control panel are what information is required and how much of it will be appropriate. Too little information may increase the amount of inference that the worker is required to make to predict the state of process parameters that are not directly displayed. This is especially important for emergency situations where the human information processing system is taxed heavily with many tasks. On the other hand, too much redimdant information can overload the worker. It is essential, therefore, that the information needs of the worker are identified through some form of task analysis and worker interviews. 

Another U.S. policy to attain energy independence was to force all Alaskan North Slope crude oil to he consumed inside the United States and not be allowed to he exported. The problem was that North Slope crude oil is relatively heavy and not suitable for west coast fuel needs. The mismatch of supply and demand caused California refineries to sell heavy distillate fuels abroad and import lighter fuel additives. Furthermore, the forced selling of Alaska crude oil on a very saturated west coast market caused Alaska crude prices to he 1 to 5 per barrel less than the international price, resulting in less oil exploration and development in Alaska. The upshot of all this was lower tax revenue, a loss of jobs in the oil fields, and less oil exploration and development on the North Slope. The United States actually exported heavy bunker fuel oil at a loss, as opposed to the profit that could have been attained by simply exporting crude oil directly. 

Tax policy (including excise taxes and income tax provisions) operates in several different ways to affect energy supply and demand, for energy in general and for specific fuels. There is no consensus about the net overall effect on supply and demand, in part because th ese provisions operate in different sectors, in different markets, and sometimes in different directions. 

Overhead The cost of payroll taxes and fringe benefits for everyone directly working on the project for the time spent on it. Usually calculated as a percentage of direct labor cost. 

All rocket motor costs per unit, and therefore rocket proplnt costs, are most sensitive to the number of units being produced and to the number of different formulations mixed in a given time interval, by the same equipment, so that a direct comparson based only on processes or proplnt types are meaningless. There are also inherent difficulties in comparing NC base proplnts with composite propints. The former are made in government plants (some of which are operated by private industry) for the most part and so accounting for indirect costs (taxes, depreciation, insurance, and return on investment) cannot be compared to the situation... 

For landfill, costs vary highly across Europe. The main reason are differences in landfill quality (a point that will be quickly become less important now that the EU Landfill directive is becoming operational) and particularly landfill tax systems. Differences between some 2 per tornie in some EU countries (for inert waste) and up to 280 per tonne in, e.g., some places in Germany, may occur (though the latter value must be regarded as exceptionally high). Technically, even in countries with unfavourable circumstances like the... 

Having RMs available is only one aspect, obtaining them is another. There are real difficulties in distribution of RMs through different Customs and Quarantine systems. These obstructions in movement of RMs are not only in the developing world, but also in aU global areas. Materials that cross international borders must be accompanied by a (or maybe 20 ) customs document. One of the key pieces of information on that document is correct allocation of the tariff number to the product. The customs tariff number directly impacts on the resolution of such matters as, most importantly, the rate of import tax and the speed through customs. Unfortunately at present there is no specific tariff number for RMs. For most producers, tariff niunber 382200000 seems to fit the biU. As discussed in Chapter 7, this issue will need to be resolved at International levels before easy movement and distribution of RMs can occur. 

Capital grants, tax concessions, and other inducements are often given by governments to direct new investment to preferred locations such as areas of high unemployment. The availability of such grants can be the overriding consideration in site selection. 

Thermoeconomics of the LHS system involves fixed capital investment, operational and maintenance cost, and exergy costs (Domanski and Fellah, 1998). Total fixed capital investment consists of (i) direct expenses that are equipment cost, materials, and labor, (ii) indirect project expenses that are freight, insurance, taxes, construction, overhead, (iii) contingency and contractor fee, and (iv) auxiliary facilities, such as site development, auxiliary buildings. 

Depreciation, amortization, depletion, and investment credit are all factors that affect the taxes a company must pay, and hence the profit that can be made. When the government wishes industry to change its direction, it can manipulate these factors to make certain options more profitable. The engineer must be aware of these changes, since they can be the deciding factor on whether a project should be continued. 

In general, economic inefficiency in resource allocation would be the result of a divergence between private benefits or costs and social benefits or costs, i.e. the result of externalities. Private costs (or internal costs) are directly taken by the buyer. Private costs for a transport user would, for example, include expenses for wear and tear, energy cost of vehicle use, transport fares, taxes and charges, as well as welfare effects such as own time costs. 

Taxes. Taxis is a movement oriented with respect to the stimulus direction its essential characteristic, therefore, is active orientation of the organism with respect to the stimulus source. A taxis is not a response in the strict sense of the introductory definition, but rather the result of a response (or of a series of responses) of the motor apparatus. 

Operating costs include the costs of raw materials, direct operating labor, labor supervision, maintenance, plant supplies, utilities (steam, gas, electricity, fuel), property taxes, and insurance. Sometimes certain operating cost components are directly expressed as a fraction of the capital investment cost. Table B.3 is a brief checklist... 

Periodically Congress has permitted the use of tax credits as a direct reduction from income taxes. Examples are tax credits for installing energy conservation devices, use of alcohol fuels and electric vehicles, development of orphan drugs, creation of low-income housing, and some research expenditures. Tax credits have been used historically to stimulate capital investment in the United States. Such deductions are more valuable than depreciation because they represent direct deductions from the tax bill after taxes are computed on income. 

Sibling packages (nested within the same container as itself their names are directly visible, because it implicitly imports its container). For example, Billing can import Taxes. 

Proposals for implementing the 1999 EC Directive on solvent emissions in England and Wales were published by the DETR at the end of July. As expected, the Government is unlikely to opt for a solvent tax or tradable permit scheme, preferring direct regulation on grounds of cost and practicality. Three sectors regulated by the Directive are not controlled already in the UK, or only partly so. They... 

Are the indirect costs more important than these direct costs Has innovation in the chemical industry been supressed by TSCA How reliable are the assumptions that such suppression has occurred Can TSCA s effects be separated from those of inflation, tax rate, industrial R/D budgets, and long-term maturation of the industry ... 

Directed Technologies, a consultant to Ford, believes that hydrogen could be delivered at around the same cost as its equivalent in gasoline, but this compares a 24.5-miles-per-gallon gasoline car using taxed gas... 

There is a difference between the two with respect to the drivers involved. The Sleipner case is mainly motivated by the Norwegian C02 tax for the offshore industry, whereas the In Salah project has no direct financial driver but is mainly driven by the objective of demonstrating C02 storage on a commercial scale and of gaining experience. 

Table 19.1 presents some evidence on the level and the structure of the external costs of various transport modes of the 15 EU member states before the enlargement of the Community in 2004 plus Norway and Switzerland. The figures show the monetary values of the effects that transport imposes on society and that are not directly covered by taxes, charges or other regulations.
