Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to investigate the corporate organizational structure of a typical electric utility firm, its interdepartmental functional relationships, and, specifically, the functional areas. The study focuses on how the corporate structure of an investor-owned utility is incorporated into the supply function for electricity within the context of its regulatory constraint. The study is based on the analysis of organizational structure and empirical studies of some selected generating electric utility companies. Growing interest by the public and regulatory bodies in the areas of utility management efficiency, and in the correctness of an allocation methodology of fixed overhead cost components is the main reason for such a study. The scope of the study is limited exclusively to the allocation of the components of fixed overhead cost. Case studies of several electric utilities are included, utilizing time series data (1961-1984) compiled from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission-Form 1, and the U.S. Department of Energy, Statistical Reports for class A & B. Chapter I provides a general introduction and the scope of the study. Chapter II comprises three sections. Section 1 presents a conceptual model of a corporate organizational structure. Section 2 describes a theoretical cost model of an electric utility supply system. Section 3 reviews the corporate organizational structure of modern electric utility firms as reported by various management audit surveys. Chapter III presents a critical review of the economic overhead cost concepts for electric firms and alternative models used to allocate overhead fixed costs to customer classes or jurisdictions. Chapter VI proposes a cost refunctionalization models for economic overhead costs. Chapter V reports the results and conclusion of an empirical analysis applied to the various functional cost allocation models. The study reveals that there is no single dominant exogenous variable that can be selected as the "best" solid allocation basis for any of the various components of fixed overhead costs. The disaggregation of cost to the lowest accounting level is found to be more desirable in refunctionalizing and/or allocating fixed overhead costs.

Download or read book Electricity Cost Modeling Calculations written by Monica Greer and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2010-09-22 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A "quick look up guide," Electricity Cost Modeling Calculations places the relevant formulae and calculations at the reader's finger tips. In this book, theories are explained in a nutshell and then the calculation is presented and solved in an illustrated, step-by-step fashion. A valuable guide for new engineers, economists (or forecasters), regulators, and policy makers who want to further develop their knowledge of best practice calculations techniques or experienced practitioners (and even managers) who desire to acquire more useful tips, this book offers expert advice for using such cost models to determine optimally-sized distribution systems and optimally-structured power supplying entities. In other words, this book provides an Everything-that-you-want-to-know-about-cost-modelling-for-electric-utilities (but were afraid to ask) approach to modelling the cost of supplying electricity. In addition, the author covers the concept of multiproduct and multistage cost functions, which are appropriate in modelling the cost of supplying electricity. The author has done all the heavy number-crunching, and provides the reader with real-world, practical examples of how to properly quantify the costs associated with providing electric service, thus increasing the accuracy of the results and support for the policy initiatives required to ensure the competitiveness of the power suppliers in this new world in which we are living. The principles contained herein could be employed to assist in the determination of the cost-minimizing amount of output (i.e., electricity), which could then be used to determine whether a merger between two entities makes sense (i.e., would increase profitability). Other examples abound: public regulatory commissions also need help in determining whether mergers (or divestitures) are welfare-enhancing or not; ratemaking policies depend on costs and properly determining the costs of supplying electric (or gas, water, and local telephone) service. Policy makers, too, can benefit in terms of optimal market structure; after all, the premise of deregulation of the electric industry was predicated on the idea that generation could be deregulated. Unfortunately, the economies of vertical integration between the generation. - A comprehensive guide to the cost issues surrounding the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity - Real-world examples that are practical, meaningful, and easy to understand - Policy implications and suggestions to aid in the formation of the optimal market structure going forward (thus increasing efficiency of electric power suppliers) - The principles contained herein could be employed to assist in the determination of the cost-minimizing amount of output

Download or read book Economic Evaluation in Education written by Henry M. Levin and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 2017-06-15 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past decade has seen increased attention to cost-effectiveness and benefit-cost analysis in education as administrators are being asked to accomplish more with the same or even fewer resources, philanthropists are keen to calculate their "return on investment" in social programs, and the general public is increasingly scrutinizing how resources are allocated to schools and colleges. Economic Evaluation in Education: Cost-Effectiveness and Benefit-Cost Analysis (titled Cost-Effectiveness Analysis: Methods and Applications in its previous editions) is the only full-length book to provide readers with the step-by-step methods they need to plan and implement a benefit-cost analysis in education. Authors Henry M. Levin, Patrick J. McEwan, Clive Belfield, Alyshia Brooks Bowden, and Robert Shand examine a range of issues, including how to identify, measure, and distribute costs; how to measure effectiveness, utility, and benefits; and how to incorporate cost evaluations into the decision-making process. The updates to the Third Edition reflect the considerable methodological development in the evaluation literature, and the greater empiricism practiced by education researchers, to help readers learn to apply more advanced methods to their own analyses.
