Book excerpt: Excerpt from Regulation, Valuation and Depreciation of Public Utilities The book is limited to the discussion of basic principles. There fore, no reference is made to the kaleidoscopic and ephemeral regu lation enactments of the different States and Municipalities. Neither can blanket rules be given that may be blindly applied - without expert legal or engineering knowledge of the local conditions - as a test for the cost of Utility service or regulation standards in any given case.'

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Public Utilities Their Cost New and Depreciation The valuation of public utility undertakings is a mixed question of fact, judgment and law. A comprehensive treatment of this subject requires the combined knowledge of the engineer, the economist and the lawyer. The fol lowing pages, written by an engineer, cannot be offered as an authoritative discussion of the legal questions involved. On the other hand the engineer, who is called upon to prepare and present most of the figures required by courts and commissions as evidence of the value of the property of such undertakings, must have a sufficient knowledge of the legal questions that are at issue to enable him to obtain properly and intelligently the figures needed by the tribunals whose duty it is to assign the fair present value. This must be offered in explanation of the many quotations from decisions of courts and commissions which have been incorporated in the present volume.

This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Public Utilities Their Fair Present Value and Return The present volume is intended to supplement a previous study, made by the writer, of the methods to be pursued in the valuation of the property Of public utilities, by entering into a discussion of the line of rea soning which must be followed by those whose duty it is to ascertain the fair present value of a property after an appraisal has been made and all necessary information has been obtained. Likewise the subjects of going value and depreciation have been considered at some length with the hope of removing some of the present misunderstanding that exists relative to these two subjects.

"The most important step is to maintain the rails perfectly bonded, so that the tracks form continuous electrical conductors/' (140) 2. 'Limit the radius from the power station to which the station supplies electric power, so that the currents do not have to be returned from excessive lengths of rails to any one power station. This is usually accomplished in practice by supplying power to electric railways from distributed sub-stations." (140) 3. "Remove current from rails wherever there is concentration of current, by means of insulated return feeders." (140) 4. "The return feeders should be proportioned for constant drop, so that the rails at all points where return feeders are connected are maintained at substantially the same potential under average load conditions." (140) 5. "The rails immediately in front of the power station must not be connected directly to the negative bus-bar, unless a resistance corresponding to the average resistance of the return feeders is connected in the circuit." (140, . 6. "The rails must not be bonded to any other underground structures." (91) 7. "The.return conductors should have a cross-section at least equal to that of the outgoing conductors." (91) 8. "Each return conductor must be provided with either an adjustable resistance or a negative booster, so that the product of current and resistance may be made the same for all conductors." (91) 9. "By connecting a voltmeter, it must always be possible to determine the potential of all the points where return conductors are connected to the rails, and points of relatively highest potentials in the rail network."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Depreciation of Public Utility Properties: And Its Relation to Fair Value and Changes in the Level of Prices The regulation of public utilities in the United States is a development of recent years and is still in the period of formation and establishment of rules of practice. The great war, with its unsettling of business conditions, and the violent price fluctuations which accompanied and followed the actual war period have introduced new complications into some of the problems which were being dealt with by Regulating Commissions and Courts just at a time when it appeared that definite conclusions were being reached. Valuation and Depreciation, and the accounting methods which deal with these subjects, have been greatly complicated by the price fluctuations of the period 1914 to 1921. New questions have been raised, new arguments have been introduced and it would appear that some conclusions are in danger of being reached which may have a far reaching effect upon utility properties through the weakening of the stability of valuations already established, and the ultimate wiping out of a large part of the actual investments necessarily made in extensions of property during the period of high prices.

A1 tho not strictly technical in nature, the subjects to be treated are of vast importance not only to every business man, but also to every engineer. Someone has stated the case very plainly: Engin sering, viewed from one standpoint, consists in the application of the physical sciences, from another, in applying the laws of economics? The importance of the financial side of an engéneering undertaking has been recognized more and more until now we have evenutility engineers?

This must be offered in explanation of the many quotations from decisions of courts and commissions which have been incorporated in the present volume. It has seemed to many who have studied this subject that the precedents are diverse and that much must yet be done before the fair present value of the property of public utilities can be defined. It is a question whether general rules can ever be laid down as to what the fair present value will be in all cases. It would seem as if such value must always be determined by "the well instructed judgment" of a broad minded and impartial tribunal.

This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Setting of Allowed Rates of Return for Public Utilities Regulation of public utilities usually involves the setting of maximum overall rates of return which the firms are allowed to earn. These rates are normally applied on some measure of the firm's rate base which is also deter mined by the regulators. Normally the rate base is some variant of the firm's book value. Through court decisions general standards have devel oped as to the spirit of regulation. The return allowed must be sufficient to attract capital in the market. It must be commensurate to returns enjoyed by firms which face corres ponding risks. The meaning of these general notions to the economist is fairly clear. Returns allowed must somehow reflect the opportunity costs of capital. (2) About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
