Objective: Formation of a unifi ed approach and adaptation of infrastructure facilities through the prism of rational use of capital funds and through the principle of comparative advantage based on opportunity cost. Methods: The main tools of analysis and management, the principle of comparative advantage, dynamic changes, schemes graphical models describing algorithms or processes, etc. are applied. Results: An analysis of possible ways of capital investment is carried out, with the fi nal comparability of the conditions and amounts spent on the adaptation of the main functional areas and infrastructure elements, taking into account the principles of “universal designˮ and “reasonable adaptationˮ. Practical importance: The proposed model is dynamic and can be applied as a criterion for the effectiveness of investments, both for individual investment projects and for investment programs in the full life cycle, including the operational stage.

By comparing Russian and American capital investment programs according to gross and per capita indexes, this article analyzes capital investments long-term dynamics in economic activities in general and manufacturing in particular. Results showed that Russian economic growths quality, determined by its 2000 capital investment structure did not correspond with the national economys long-term development aims. Moreover, investment activitys current fading appears consequent to that periods inappropriate investment politics. The existing Russian investment system aims to incorporate its economy into the global economy as a supplier of natural and, partly, agricultural resources, thus dooming manufacturing to stagnation at best. The authors reveal that activation of industrial politics, established on a fundamental power-of-the-state approach in the investment process, based on long-term strategic interests and the potential of market forces (namely, efficiency use of resources) allows launching large-scale investment projects to provide favorable conditions for creating an innovative national economy.

In determining the feasibility of projects where capital investments are concerned, various methods are used. The focus of these methods is on return per se, so it is often asked to what extent any of these methods take the risk concept into account. The main objective of this study was to investigate the importance of risk with regard to capital investment projects. Secondly, with the aid of an empirical study, the study tried to establish whether risk is incorporated when South African companies evaluate capital investment projects. The empirical analysis indicated that risk analysis and evaluation in practice are to a large extent neglected by South African companies. It was found that nearly a quarter of companies estimate their annual cash flows using management subjective estimates alone.

The article presents the methods for evaluating the effectiveness of investment projects developed by foreign, Soviet and later Russian scientists that made it possible to formulate principles for evaluating the effectiveness of projects of creating and developing seaports and terminals. The basic economic law of socialism in 1952 has been analyzed, according to which the development of the command economy was exhausted by planned extensive and intensive economic growth in the absence of inflation and risks. There has been studied the typical methodology for determining the effectiveness of capital investments and new equipment developed in 1960 and proposing to use two groups of indicators: general and comparative efficiency. It has been stated that the main drawback of this and later methods is to reject the indicator of absolute economic effect. There are given formulas for calculating the payback period and the effect of increasing operation of sea transport due to capital investments. There has been defined the principle of alternativeness based on accounting for the opportunity costs of neoclassical economics. Modern computer technologies make it possible to accurately simulate the technological processes of the port terminal and, using the results, to calculate the technical and economic indicators of their activities. The principle of alternativeness consists in considering all possible options for organizing technological processes at the terminal and choosing the option with best values of performance. The principle of alternativeness should be used to assess the effectiveness of the project as a whole and to evaluate the effectiveness of each participant. Projects of building and development of seaports and terminals are characterized by a complex composition of participants; they always impact the state interests and are a form of public-private partnership. The main infrastructure of seaports and land plots are in federal ownership. The implementation of the principle of alternativeness becomes possible when using the capital investment budget method.

The envisaging of capital investments is of prime importance for the economic growth and business development of a country, as it represents the starting point of the entire capital investment process. This paper focuses on the financing of envisaged capital investments and addresses amongst others the various sources of financing and the finance cost thereof, the related capital structure theories, as well as the determinants of the capital structure of an enterprise, which comprise of the economic and firm-specific factors. The objective of this research paper embodies the improvement of the financing decision-making when enterprises are envisaging capital investments. A literature study provided the secondary data and formed the basis of this research. To achieve the research objective, an opinion survey was done to obtain the perceptions of the business leaders in South Africa regarding the importance of the economic and firm-specific factors for the financing of envisaged capital investments, the associated problem areas as perceived by the firms, as well as the frequency of envisaging various types of capital investment projects by the respondents

Pennsylvania is one of a number of U.S. states that provide incentives for the generation of electricity by solar energy through Solar Renewal Energy Credits (SRECs). This article develops a return on investment model for solar energy generation in the PJM (mid-­Atlantic) region of the United States. Model results indicate that SREC values of roughly $150 are needed for residential scale systems to break even over a 25-­year project period at 3% interest. Market prices for SRECs in Pennsylvania have been well below this range from late 2011 through the first half of 2016, indicating that previous capital investments in solar generation have been stranded as a result of steep declines in the value of SRECs. A simple conceptual supply and demand model is developed to explain the sharp decline in market prices for SRECs. Also discussed is a possible policy remedy that would add unsold SRECs in a given year to the SREC quota for the subsequent year.

Petrochemistry is one of the major industry fields in Azerbaijan, the production of which is exported to a number of countries. Competetive performence of exported goods creates conditions for the segmentation of certain markets and enhancement of sales geography. In this context, the paper reviews such issues as economic estimation of investment projects and expansion of potential of petrochemical enterprise with the purpose of increasing its production capacity, as well as the possibility of using internationally approved method of economic estimation for the specification of the efficiency of capital investments.


International innovation and investment activity occupy a special place in the system of modern international business. The authors propose an economic and mathematical model for assessing the sensitivity of international innovation and investment projects by the criterion of net present value. It is advised to use the obtained sensitivity indicator as an additional one in assessing the economic efficiency of international innovation and investment projects of an enterprise. The proposed model makes it possible to determine the effect of several internal parameters simultaneously on the net present value of the project.

 The article systematized factors of investment attractiveness and investment climate in Ukraine. The expediency of supplementinganexistinglist of components of investment climate is substantiated by two additional factors. Themechanismo factionoftheproposedfactorsthatreflectthenegative effectin the developmen to freformsand innovations, aswellas the economic efficiency of construction projects on the financial result, expected from investigations, isrevealed. The trends in the developmen to finvestment activityinUkrainein 2015 - 2020, the existence of reserves for increasing the economic efficiency of investments and the need for their calculation witht hehelpof a special methodological approac hare analyzed. The methodical approach to the evaluation of investment efficiency of constructionis developed, which is based on the magnitude of the multiplier of capital investment in construction inthelong-termperiodandrefinedtheboundariesoftheretrospectivehorizon, which are necessary to determine such a multiplier. The rapid importance of aninvestment multiplier of construction isestablis hedand a methodological approach to qualitative interpretation of this indicator issubstantiated. The basis of a methodological approach is the results of a cluster analysis of aninvestment multiplier in the contex to fvarioustypesofconstructionandregions, the methodof K-medium, aswellaspostulatesofthetheoryoffuzzysets. Within the framework of the developed methodological approach, the "investment attractiveness of construction" characteristicsis presentedin the form of a fuzz yterm-shear, which combines three terms: "Lowefficiency", "averageefficiency", "highlevelofefficiency". Inaccordance with descriptiv estatistics of thereceived clusters, the parameters and type of functions of affiliation, the boundaries of clusters that directly affecttheuse of correctivea mendments to the value of the economic effectof capitalinvestment to the level of the contractor-executor of construction work are substantiated.
