Economic Analysis. Provide a general economic analysis of various alternatives based on economic parameters and assumptions provided by the City.
Economic Analysis. Investigations involving detailed consideration of operations, maintenance and overhead expenses; providing value engineering during the course of design; the preparation of feasibility studies, cash flow and economic evaluations, rate schedules and appraisals; assistance in obtaining financing for the Project; evaluating processes available for licensing and assisting the City in obtaining licensing; detailed quantity surveys of material, equipment and labor; and audits of inventories required in connection with construction performed by the City.
Economic Analysis. Economic analysis shall account for interactions among ECPs. For example, if an HVAC system is to be upgraded, the cooling load should be calculated using the new lighting load if new lighting fixtures and ballasts are recommended for lighting retrofit. For renewable resource energy conservation opportunity, use the cost of the fuel displaced as the annual cost savings, less any differentials in maintenance. The estimated total cost of the energy conservation project shall include the cost of design and other professional services, equipment, labor and material to install equipment, training of operating personnel, and if asbestos or hazardous material is present and identified during the Survey, notify the Contracting Officer.
Economic Analysis. This comes from the financial analysis and the cash flow table in order to determine the standard methodology for the three steps required to produce the final table in the economic analysis. Economic analysis must include: • Tax/subsidy adjustments; • Corrections due to the influence of external factors (externalities); • Determination of converters (correction factors) (for instance the conversion of market prices into accounting prices and thus the integration of benefits and costs in society). This analysis focuses on how to calculate costs and benefits from a societal perspective and how these can affect to the results. It provides a guide on how to calculate the economic rate of return and helps us understanding its economic significance in the project evaluation
Economic Analysis. The Company’s revenues are moderately sensitive to changes in the economy. Should the housing market not improve (especially for new home developments and home remodeling) then sales of Titan Roof Tile may wane. However, the business will be economically insulated on two fronts. First, the business will generate extremely high gross margins from the sales of its product line. Second, the replacement of roofing is required by homeowners and building owners from time to time, and as such the business will be able to remain profitable and cash flow positive at all times.
Economic Analysis. The economic impact of the MCA-N Programme’s Activities was estimated through economic rate of return (ERR) calculations, using a cost-benefit analysis. The ERRs attempt to quantify the increase in incomes that would be generated by the activity. The Namibia Compact’s ERRs were initially calculated by MCC prior to approval of the Programme and, 5 This is the net present value of the benefits over the time indicated in the table in section 2.4, using a discount rate of 10%. 6 Note that data quality concerns were registered about this unemployment rate (see Additional Information column on p. 1 of Annex 1) and subsequent improvements were made in methodology; therefore, any changes in the rate may not be directly comparable. though only estimates, contributed to early decisions related to the Compact; they were subsequently updated by MCC. The updated ERRs provide some context about the long- term impacts that are expected from the Programme. It should be noted that in some cases, an ERR is not calculated for an activity/sub-activity due to lack of available data.

Economic Analysis. Statistical and economic analysis in support of this Strategic Plan update was completed and presented at several Board workshops and industry consultation meetings during the study process. This detailed material is contained in Appendix C: Economic Analysis. Also as part of the process the Comox Valley Investor Profile, which includes significant statistical benchmarking against BC regions and similar-sized communities across Canada, has been updated. The key outcomes of this analysis that are particularly informative for the Strategic Plan update include the following: The Comox Valley has been one of the faster-growing regional districts in BC. With population growth of 6.8% from 2006 to 2011, it ranks 5th fastest in growth rate among the 29 regional districts. Population growth is projected by BC Stats to remain strong, averaging 1.3% per year through 2036, the 2nd fastest rate among comparable BC regional districts. Strong growth averaging 1.2% per year is also projected in the prime working-age population of 25 to 54-year-olds. An increasing supply of working-age residents is a critical asset for growing the regional economy and will help to mitigate labour shortages that are expected to be a growing problem nationwide. Average and median incomes in the Comox Valley are lower than in BC. The average of all types of income is lower than average except pension income. Pension income in 2009 averaged $23,000 per person (among those who had pension income), ranking 2nd highest in BC among the 29 regional districts (only the Capital RD is higher). Employment income averaged $30,500 per person (among those who had employment income), ranking 21st in BC. Employment and self-employment accounted for just over half (53%) of total reported income in the Comox Valley in 2009. Only two other regional districts had a lower share of income from employment, emphasizing the Comox Valley’s increasing role as a retirement location. The three sectors with lowest average weekly wages in BC are accommodation and food services, agriculture and retail & wholesale trade, each of which is more concentrated in the Comox Valley than in the BC economy overall. This helps to explain the region’s lower employment incomes. Resource-based industries (forestry, fishing, mining) tend to pay the highest wages but have been in decline in the Comox Valley. Public administration also pays well and is a strength in the Comox Valley with presence of 19 Wing Comox. Professi...

Economic Analysis. Reference: BC HYDRO ENERGY/CAPACITY GAP Exhibit B-1, pp. 3, 12, 20, 31, Appendix B, Table 3-8, p. 6, Table 3-9, p. 7; 2017 BCUC Site C Inquiry, Exhibit A-24, Site C Final Report, pp. 77-82, Exhibit A-24-2-1, Appendix-C Commission Illustrative Alternative Portfolio, Exhibit F1-1, Appendix K, pp. 7, 8 Load Forecast BC Hydro states on page 3 of the Application that based on the mid-level load forecast in the F2017-F2019 Revenue Requirement Application (RRA), the load resource balance (LRB) identifies a need for new resources in fiscal 2022. BC Hydro includes the F2017-F2019 RRA LRB after planned resources in Appendix B to the Application (Table 3-8 and 3-9). On page 77 of the British Columbia Utilities Commission (BCUC) 2017 Site C Final Report BCUC found that overall BC Hydro’s mid load forecast was excessively optimistic and considered it more appropriate to use the low load forecast. On pages 78 to 82 the BCUC discussed the following issues and factors: recent developments in the industrial sectors; accuracy of historical load forecasts; GDP and other forecast drivers; price elasticity; future rate increases; potential disrupting trends; and flattening electricity demand.
