Combined-cycle power plants use two combustion turbines to produceelectricity. Heat from the first turbine’s exhaust is captured to heatwater and produce steam sent to a second steam turbine thatgenerates additional electricity. A 968-megawatt combined-cycle gasfired plant can be purchased for P450 million, has no salvage value,and produces a net cash flow (revenues less expenses) of P50 millionper year over its expected 30-year life.a. If the hurdle rate (MARR) is 14% per year, how profitable aninvestment is this power plant?b. What is the simple payback period for the plant? Is this investmentacceptable?
