Total capital required

The capital charge factor (/3) multiplied by the capital cost of the plant (Co) gives the cost of servicing the total capital required. Suppose the capital costs of a plant at the beginning of the first year is Co and the plant has a life of N years so an annual amount must be provided which is (Co/ + B). The first term (CoO is the simple interest payment and the second (B) matures into the capital repayment after N years (i.e. interest added to the accumulated sum at the end of each year), thus... 

Capitalism therefore involves a multitude of individual producers engaged in the pursuit of profit. To conjoin these individual decisions into a reproducing total capital requires circulation and exchange. Capitalist production is primarily production by innumerable private producers without any planned regulation. The only social link between these producers is the act of exchange (ibid. 34). 

Total capital required (TCR) includes TCC, design, inspection, project management, construction management, management reserve, and contingency. 

Full-scale operation costs were compared for the Brayton cycle at varying VOC concentrations. The unit costs for VOC recovery are compared in Table 2. The total capital required is 156,173. This price encompasses the equipment costs, including building, site preparation and freight, and capital costs, which include design, inspection, and management (D14334A, p. 64). 

Basic information on facilities investment, coal, utilities, and operating labor for the 100 million SCF/day base case was obtained from Reference (JO and adjusted to a mid-1979 basis. Based upon the economic evaluation guidelines for 100 million SCF/day hydrogen production with Wyoming coal at 20/ton ( 1.17/106 Btu), the total capital required is 298.8 X 106 and the hydrogen price is 3.66/103 SCF, or 11.20/106 Btu. For Illinois coal at 20/ton, total capital required is 270.1 X 106 and hydrogen price is 3.19/103 SCF, or 9.76/106 Btu.

Fifty per cent of the total costs are usually made up of the global costs of salaries, labour and associated payroll. General cost factors are determined by the kind of production and process. It is possible to calculate the total capital requirements for a specific design as well as the associated direct labour costs and, therefore, the production costs.
