Abstract Every business can benefit from reduction of its losses due to corrosion. Awareness of all possible sources of such losses is essential. Unnecessary acceptance of losses is common from chronic corrosion which is tolerated as established custom, and from hidden or indirect effects of corrosion. The importance of corrosion damage is not always proportional to the volume of metal affected. The functional aspects of corrosion are listed. Analysis is made of the ways in which corrosion enters into the cost of doing business. Explanations are given of the direct and indirect ways corrosion may effect capital investment, operating costs, product sales, maintenance costs, overhead costs and market competitive condition of and company.

Sijuk shrimp paste business is a business in processing rebon shrimp which is most commonly implemented in Belitung Regency. In this study, profi t analysis, investment feasibility, and sensitivity were used to draw the conclusions. The samples involve 25 shrimp paste businesses taken by using census method in Sungai Padang Village, District Sijuk, Belitung Regency. This area is also a central area for producing Sijuk shrimp paste. Census refers to periodic collection of information about the specifi c population from the entire population. Sampling is a method of collecting information from a sample that represents population. The result showed that the Sijuk shrimp paste businesses gives benefi ts because they had a gain of Rp.17.558.914,29 / year, the value of gross profi t ratio of 50.61%, the rate of return per capital investment of 1.02, and the return on the investments amounted to 74.58%. The Sijuk shrimp paste businesses are feasible to continue be had the value of discounted payback period of 1.57 years, the net present value of Rp.18.264.662,44, the internal rate of the return value of 35%, and the profi tability index of 1.78. From the results of the sensitivity analysis concluded that the Sijuk shrimp paste businesses are feasible to continue because the percentage of increase in the maximum operating costs still can be tolerated which is equal to 44,763% and the percentage of maximum reduction in the selling price of Sijuk shrimp paste still can be tolerated which is equal to 22.108%.

This report presents the results of an economic survey of the herring fishery of Charlotte County, New Brunswick, conducted in 1957 and 1958. It contains: (a) a detailed account of the capital investment and income position of the fishermen who were engaged in the herring fishery during the years 1956 and 1957; (b) some evaluation of the economic effects which the construction of hydro-electric power dams in Passamaquoddy Bay would have on the herring fishery of the area.Except for a small complement of men employed on purse seiners, draggers and a few other modernized fishing craft, the fishing activity of Charlotte County fishermen is largely confined to inshore operations. As a result, the primary fishing industry is not highly capitalized. Average net incomes are also low compared with those prevailing in other industries, even with those derived from a number of fisheries elsewhere in the Maritime Provinces. Incomes from the weir fishery are particularly uncertain, in view of the wide fluctuation in yearly catches and the high, rigid operating costs. In contrast with weir fishing, purse seining has proven to be an efficient method of fishing in the region, and holds considerable promise for the improvement of earnings in the herring fishery.It is expected that the construction of the proposed power dams would add to the cost of maintaining and operating weirs in Passamaquoddy Bay, thereby reducing returns to owners and fishermen in this segment of the industry. In view of the low earnings now derived from weir fishing in certain sections of the area, it is likely that a number of weir owners would not continue to maintain their weir investments if the power dams were built.

This paper looks at the cost of navigation and endeavours to establish a relationship, of the type studied by Professor H. Benford, between manning and its associated cost in British shipping. Certain assumptions are made concerning the capital investment and operating costs for navigation equipment and from these the progressive savings are estimated for minimum manning and an unmanned bridge. Captain McKenzie is Managing Director of Marine and General Computer Consultancy (I.O.M.) Ltd.After some considerable investigation into the costs of marine equipment and accommodation it has been found that there is the greatest difficulty in establishing a base cost on which to examine possible reductions. Equipment, salaries, accommodation and fringe benefits vary so much from company to company and ship to ship that any comparison is meaningless. Thus we must consider some hypothetical ‘standard ship’ and define fairly closely what equipment is already on board and the average salary for staff or crew members. It seems reasonable to look at a modern ship equipped with all the devices which an up-to-date shipowner considers necessary for her operation and—more important—her safety.

The paper reviews the technical developments and changes in philosophy currently underway in British Gas to improve the utilisation of existing and future gas compressor plants. These developments have two main objectives, first to improve the operation of all plants, with corresponding reductions in operating costs, and second to reduce capital investment in future plants by good design and accurate planning. The paper considers in some detail machinery selection including the possibility of a short-term peak operation of plant and the use of waste heat recovery schemes. Improvements in machinery operating efficiency are also reviewed with particular emphasis on performance testing, computer based health monitoring schemes and reliability investigations. The influence of the various technical developments in relation to the investment in new and standby plants is considered.

The Cost

The equipment technology to incinerate and in turn recover energy from industrial wastes is reasonably well documented via the manufacturers of the equipment involved. The difficult question for the industrial plant manager is whether the capital investment and operating costs are economically justified. This paper will review the styles of incineration and heat recovery systems which are typically applied to industrial wastes – solids, liquids, and gases – and then assess the quantity and type of waste materials which are needed to make the cost of installing that equipment economically justified.
