As an advanced study on the method of calculating the target revenue water ratio of local waterworks through the leakage component analysis method proposed by Kim et al. (2022), this study developed a model to calculate the achievable revenue water ratio within the specified project cost, the required project cost to achieve the specified target revenue water ratio, and the economically appropriate target revenue water ratio level by considering the leakage reduction cost and leakage reduction benefit for each revenue water ratio improvement strategy, and conducted an applicability evaluation of the developed model using actual field data. The procedure for calculating the target revenue water ratio of local waterworks considering economics proposed in this study consists of three stages: physical data linkage model construction, leakage component analysis, and economic analysis, and the applicability was evaluated for Zone H with branch type and the Zone M network type. As a result of the application, it was calculated that approximately 32.5 billion won would be required to achieve the target revenue water ratio of 70% in the Zone H, and approximately KRW 10.5 billion would be required to achieve the target revenue water ratio of 75% in the Zone M. If the business scale of Zones H and M was corrected to 10,000 ㎥/day of water usage, the required project cost for a 1% improvement in the revenue water ratio of Zone H was calculated to be 0.7642 billion won and 0.4715 billion won for Zone M.

PURPOSES : In general, a high-performance concrete construction method is a method of loading mixed cement and other materials on a mobile mixer equipped with a concrete plant. However, the construction cost is high because the unit cost of the mixed cement is very high and the equipment usage fee of the mobile mixer is also high. To compensate for these drawbacks, a cellular spray concrete method was developed. This is a highly functional customized concrete construction method in which admixtures are added to high-flow concrete with cellular (air bubbles) added at the site and constructed through spraying. METHODS : Field workability evaluation using cellular concrete was carried out using a spray method in 2017 and an anti-foaming agent in 2018. The test construction section was set as a new road-pavement construction site. After construction, strength, durability characteristics, and void analysis were performed to compare the construction methods. The results of laboratory tests under optimal conditions were also compared to the on-field results. By comparing the indoor mixing and the on-field results, we analyzed whether there were any problems concerning the performance expression. The economic feasibility at the initial construction stage was analyzed by comparing the existing and the cellular concrete construction methods in terms of material cost and equipment usage fee. RESULTS : In the case of cellular spray concrete, construction through spraying is cumbersome, and the need to additionally use large equipment such as a pump car and compressor constitutes a disadvantage. However, the most relevant feature is that it can be constructed not only on the floor, but also on a slope. In the case of cellular concrete with an antifoaming agent, it was possible to quickly produce high-performance concrete using on-site remixing equipment. By supplying materials to the pouring surface using a conveyor, smooth construction and construction in narrow spaces were also possible. CONCLUSIONS : The cellular concrete method allows the immediate on-site production of high-performance concrete, and it is possible to selectively apply spray construction, antifoaming agent construction, etc.

Results indicated that IRR was estimated to be 79.9% in case of scenario assuming no additional operating costs while IRR was 56.3% in case of scenario assuming 10% additional operating costs. In addition, the economic feasibility would be secured when annual operating costs increased to 274 million won according to the result of sensitivity analysis.

This study aimed to analyze the profitability and economic feasibility of hairtail trolling line gear that was developed for the last 3 years (2015-2017). The new fishing gear technology development was accomplished to solve the current problem of fishermen shortage in hairtail targeting fisheries in Jeju region. Results indicated that the profitability of developed hairtail trolling line fishery was estimated to be 36.1 % which would be higher than that of other hairtail targeting fisheries in Jeju region. In addition, as an economic feasibility, the net present value and the internal rate of return of a 20-year cash inflow and outflow were evaluated to be 400.2 million won and 66.9 %, respectively. However, sensitivity analyses of main variables showed that the profitability and economic feasibility would be vulnerable to catch amount and market condition changes.

This paper aims to analyze the economic feasibility and investigate the possibility of elastic seismic design of wind-designed highrise concentrically braced frames considering change of mechanical properties of Korean steel under the strong wind and the low seismicity in Korea. To this end, first, highrise concentrically braced frames were designed considering strong wind load. And then, analyses of the economics of them were performed. The seismic performance evaluation of wind-designed highrise buildings was conducted using the response spectrum analysis procedure. Analysis results show that it is possible to save up to approximately 90% of the amount of steel on the 10% increase in steel strength without serviceability. However, with serviceability, the design sectional area of the steel with relatively high strength tends to increment considerably because of the lateral stiffness due to reduction of the inertia moment and so on. This point might apply to limitation of the steel with high tensile yield strength.

계란 세척기 평가 금액 추정 결과는 다음과 같다. 계란 세척기 총수입(인건비 절감으로부터의 조수입 증대)에서 산정하였으며, 계란 세척기 총비용은 구입가격, 고정비용 및 유동비용의 합계로 나타내었다. 계란 세척기 평가액은 할인율 수준에 따라 최소 44,778천원(할인율 10%)에서 최대 45,778천원(할인율 5%), 평균 45,278천원으로 추정된다(Table 7). 계란세척기의 경제적 타당성을 살펴보면, 내부수익율 IRR의 값은 가정했던 할인율(5%~10%)보다 훨씬 높고, 순현재가치(NPV)는 0보다 훨씬 크며, B/C 비율도 1.0 이상으로 나타나 계란 세척기 개발사업의 경제적 타당성은 있는 것으로 판단된다(Table 8).

정부는 훼손된 해양생태계의 현황 및 원인을 파악하고 생태계 기능 복원 및 손실 방지 전략을 수립하기 위해 해양생태계 복원기술개발 사업의 시행을 고려하고 있다. 사업 시행 여부에 대한 판단을 위해서는 이 사업에 대한 경제적 타당성 분석이 필수적으로 요구된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 조건부 가치측정법(CVM, contingent valuation method)을 적용하여 사업 수행의 경제적 타당성을 분석하고자 한다. 지불의사 유도방법으로 유인일치적인 양분선택형 모형을 이용하되, 지불의사액 추정모형으로 영(0)의 응답을 명시적으로 다룰 수 있는 스파이크 모형을 적용한다. CVM 적용을 위한 설문조사는 미국 해양대기청의 지침에 따라 전국 1,000가구를 대상으로 일대일 개별면접을 통해 2013년에 시행되었다. 분석결과 연간 가구당 평균 지불의사액은 5,414원으로 추정되었다. 이 값을 전국으로 확장하면 향후 5년 동안 연간 약 986억원에 달한다. 이 값과 해양생태계 복원기술개발 사업의 투자비 정보를 이용하여 경제성을 분석한 결과, 순현재가치, 편익/비용 비율, 내부수익률은 각각 3,378억원, 5.20, 65.9 %로 산정되어 각각 0, 1.0, 5.5 %를 상회하므로 이 사업은 비용-편익 분석을 통과한다.

라오스 정부는 산림의 황폐화를 방지하고 그동안 훼손된 산림 자원의 복원을 위해 외국 자본에 의한 조림사업을 유치하는 노력을 하고 있어, 라오스는 우리나라의 해외 조림목 공급선 확대라는 정책 목표에 부합하는 지역으로 볼 수 있다. 이렇듯 조림 투자 가능성이 점차 확대되어가고 있는 환경 아래, 조림 투자 사업의 경제적 타당성을 미리 가늠해 보는 과정은 투자 의사 결정에 있어 매우 중요한 역할을 차지한다. 본 연구의 기본적인 목적은 라오스 조림 투자 사업에 대한경제적 타당성을 실증적인 차원에서 평가하는 것이다. 모든 투자 사업을 계획할 때에는 B/C ratio나 IRR 등과 같은 타당성지표를 계산하여 사업의 경제성 여부를 판단하게 된다. 그러나 그러한 경제적 타당성 분석 결과의 신뢰성은 분석에 적용되는 편익 항목과 비용 항목이 얼마만큼 현실적인 조건을 충실히 반영하느냐에 의존하게 되며, 투자 사업이 진행됨에 따라 나타나는 여러 불확실성이나 항목의 변동을 감안하는 데에는 큰 제약이 있는 것이 현실이다. 더욱이 사업이 진행됨에따라 사업 기간 중 발생하는 편익과 비용의 변동 사항을 적절히 반영하여 경제성을 재평가한다면, 나머지 사업 기간 중의 투자 계획 수정 과정이나 동종 업계의 투자 의사 결정, 나아가 정부의 관련 정책 의사 결정 과정에 기여하는 바가 크다고 할 수 있다. 이상과 같은 목적에 부합하는 연구를 수행하기 위하여, 본 연구에서는 현재 해외에 진출하여 조림사업을 추진하고 있는 기업 중, 라오스에 진출한 M산업을 분석 대상으로 선정하였다. M산업은 조림 면적이나 사업비 규모 측면에서 상대적으로 소규모의 투자 업체로 간주되는데, 2002년부터 3여 년 동안의 사업 준비기간을 거쳐 2005년 라오스에 진출한 소규모국내 업체이다. 현지 조사를 바탕으로 가정한 비용 항목과 편익 항목의 각 수치를 최대한 보수적인 관점에서 적용하여 경제성을 분석한결과, IRR은 19.62로 나타나 최근에 자본의 기회비용으로 간주될 수 있는 시중 이자율을 크게 상회하는 것으로 나타났다.한편 8%의 할인율에서 B/C ratio는 1.54로 나타나 1원의 투자에 대응하여 0.54원의 순수익을 기대할 수 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 이 때 미래 순수익 흐름의 합계인 NPV는$4,529,182로 나타났다. 분석에 적용된 할인율이 각각 5%부터20%까지 상승함을 가정할 때, B/C는 1.70으로부터 0.99까지하락하는 것으로 나타났으며 동시에 NPV는 $6,773,935로부터 -$39,155까지 하락할 수 있음이 분석되었다. 민감도 분석 결과 편익의 크기가 20% 가량 증가할 때, IRR은 24.69%까지 상승하는 것으로 나타났다. 반대로 편익의 크기가 20% 가량 감소할 때, IRR은 13.53%까지 하락하는 것으로 나타났다. 비용 항목 변동의 경우 주요 비용 항목의 크기가 각각 10% 및 20% 씩 감소할 때, IRR은 각각 18.86% 및 18.13%로 하락하는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 현재의 국내 자본의 기회비용 수준을 8% 정도로 감안했을 때 모든 시나리오의 분석 결과가 이를 크게 상회함으로써 민감도 분석 결과 또한 다양한 가격 조건 하에서도 본 사업의 경제성은 충분히 확보된 것으로 판단할 수 있다.

Electric night storage heater was introduced and disseminated for power grid balancing and efficient management of power generation facility. But fuel cost for heating has been increased rapidly while the cost of electricity increased slightly. This abnormal rate system caused peak load in winter at last. To solve this problem, application of an air source heat pump was suggested. In the study, the effect of replacing night heater by heat pump and the economics were analysed. In addition the expectation of prospect of heat pump penetration was simulated based on surveyed and investigated data. As a result, fund supporting as well as institutional backing was needed for effective propagation and return of investment.
