Chapter A, Problem 9P

The Tri-County Generation and Transmission Association is a nonprofit cooperative organization that pro vides electrical service to rural customers. Based on a faulty long-range demand forecast, Tri-County overbuilt its generation and distribution system. Tri-County now has much more capacity than it needs to serve its customers. Fixed costs, mostly debt service on investment in plant and equipment, are $82.5 million per year. Variable costs, mostly fossil fuel costs, are $25 per megawatt-hour (MWh, or million watts of power used for 1 hour). The new person in charge of demand fore casting prepared a short-range forecast for in next year’s budgeting process. That forecast calls for Tri-County customers to consume 1 million MWh of energy next year.

  1. How much will Tri-County need to charge its customers per MWh to break even next year?
  2. The Tri-County customers balk at that price and conserve electrical energy. Only 95 percent of fore casted demand materializes. What is the resulting surplus or loss for this nonprofit organization?

The Importance of the Planning Phase to Project Success.  Traditional wisdom is that planning and analysis are very important and the more there is in a project, the more successful the project will be. Time spent on these activities will reduce risk and increase project success. On the other hand, inadequate analysis and planning will lead to a failed project. If poor planning has led to failed projects, then perhaps billions of dollars have been lost. But how much is too much? “Light weight” project management techniques such as agile are gaining popularity. Part of their ethos is that less initial planning is better and an evolutionary process is more efficient. QUESTION 1 The article above states: “Traditional wisdom is that planning and analysis are very important and the more there is in a project, the more successful the project will be”.  Describe FIVE (5) ways…
