A general contractor in the energy sector is considering a long-term Build-Operate-Transfer investment option for building an electricity generating powerplant project in Alberta. The minimum attractive rate of return (MARR) the company requires is 10%. The annual rate of inflation for years 1-5 is 1.8%, years 6-10 is 2.0%, years 11-12 is 2.3%, years 13-15 is 2.1%, years 16-20 is 2.2%. Construction will last 4 years and then commercial operations would begin. Cash flows are as follows:

Year(s)	Items	Cash Flows
	Initial cost (mobilization, legal, initial deposits for suppliers to secure equipment and materials, site security, etc)	-$400,000
1-4	Construction costs	Year 1: -$13,000,000 Year 2: -$30,000,000 Year 3: -$43,000,000 Year 4: -$14,000,000
5	Annual operating and maintenance costs	-$1,300,000
6-20	Annual operating and maintenance costs (indexed / adjusted for rate of inflation)	Previous year's O&M costs + rate of inflation adjustment
0	Revenue	$15,000,000
20	Remaining service value (RSV)	$6,000,000

Note: RSV is similar to salvage value

If the powerplant was operational right now, revenues would be approximately $15,000,000 this year alone. It is safe to assume that these revenues would rise with the cost of inflation for the following 5 years, then increasing at twice the pace of inflation for the following 5 years and settling at an annual growth rate of 2.5 times the rate of inflation for the remaining plant's service life.
