Prosjektstyring Cash Flow Example 3 calculation of cash flow Income profile of project This example will show calculation of a cash flow. Investments start in year 1 and go on over a six- year period The table shows estimated incomes over entire project life cycle. As shown in the table incomes start from sixth year. Year Incom e

Prosjektstyring Cost Estimate (kNOK ) Cost category SUM Cost Magnitude preplanning Detailed planning Construction section A Construction section B Construction section C Assembly testing Pilot operation Project management Unpredicted We have prepared a cost estimate for the costs. The needed accumulated investment is little over 5 mill. NOK and the left table shows how large the cost of each activity is.

Prosjektstyring Investment profile (kNOK) Cost category SUM Preplanning Detailed planning Construction section A Construction section B Construction section C Assembly testing Pilot operation Project management Unpredicted YEAR YEAR YEAR YEAR YEAR COST AMOUNT By dividing the costs on different periods, we can create an investment profile for project. For activity, detail planning, total sum is 475 kNOK that is divided on year 1 and 2, that gives respectively 350 and 125. In addition to investment costs, there will be tax, operation and maintenance costs. In this example, we disregard taxes.

Prosjektstyring Operation & Maintenance Cost (kNOK) Year Fixed Part Varying Part Total Cost Left table shows operation and maintenance costs of project. We see that these costs do not occur before 6th year; the time that construction is over. Operation and maintenance costs are splited into fixed and variable parts..

Prosjektstyring Cash Flow (kNOK) We set up a table for entire years of project life cycle. Where we aggregate operation and maintenance costs and subtract the obtained sum from project incomes in order to calculate the net cash flow for each year. Cost / Income Year 3Year 4Year 5Year 6Year 8Year 1 Year 2 Year 7 Cost / Income Year 11Year 12Year 13 Yea14 Year 16Year 9Year 10 Year 15

Prosjektstyring Graphical Presentation of Costs The cash flow enjoys both negative and positive amounts. Also from graphical presentation we can see that cash flow ascends from year 0 to year 9, then it descends until end of project.
