In order to improve the accessibility to the island through marine leisure ships, it is necessary to evaluate objective business feasibility of the ship's operation. In this study, costs and income were estimated based on the operating expenses and freight standards of similar marine leisure ships in operation, and based on this, the feasibility of the project was empirically analyzed through B/C analysis, NPV, and IRR. In addition, sensitivity analysis was performed for various variables to understand the requirements for securing minimum economic feasibility. As a result of the study, in case of new building ship, the B/C ratio was estimated to be 1.042, NPV was estimated to be KRW 1.93 billion, and IRR was estimated to be 2.1% which means that profitability was secured.

통신업계의 사업자간 성과를 평가할 때 흔히 사용되는 지표가 ARPU(Average revenue per user) 이다. ARPU란 가입자당 수익으로 사업자의 총 수익을 가입자 수로 나누어 산출된다. 그러나 최근 통신 선진국 등지에서 ARPU적용의 문제점들을 제시하면서 새로운 지표인 AMPU(Average margin per user)를 사용하자는 주장이 일고 있다. AMPU란 가입자당 이익으로 사업자의 순이익을 가입자 수로 나누어 산출된 수치를 말한다. ARPU는 그 산정 메카니즘 상 변수인 수익과 가입자수에 대한 통일된 개념정립이 없으므로 사업자마다 각기 다른 회계처리를 할 수 있다. 특히 수익의 경우는 단말기 매출의 포함여부와 CP들에게 지불될 제3자수익에 대한 처리에 따라 수익수준이 달라지게 되며, 가입자수의 경우 가입자에 대한 정의가 명확하지 않기 때문에 실제 서비스를 이용하고 있지 않은 inactive가입자들의 포함여부에 따라 ARPU수치에 영향을 주게 된다. 따라서 사업자간 일률적이지 않은 회계처리에 따른 ARPU수치를 비교하는 것은 의미 없는 일이 될 수 있고 궁극적으로 이해 관계자들의 의사결정을 왜곡시킬 수 있는 요인이 된다. 따라서 수익과 비용을 모두 고려하는 개념인 AMPU의 사용은 ARPU로 인한 문제점을 해소시킬 수 있을 것이다. 따라서 보다 정확하고 비교가능한 정보를 제공하기 위해서는 통신산업의 사업자들과 이해관계자들이 AMPU지표의 공시에 협조해야 하며, 근본적으로 공시되는 수익이나 가입자수에 대한 개념의 정립이 시급할 것이다.

We analyzed the profitability of Korea's forestry by evaluating stumpage prices of the main economic tree species. Stumpage prices are evaluated with a market value formula, subtracting logging and transporting costs from market prices of logs. If trees are sold at the current cutting age, the stumpage price of larch is about 4.5 million KRW per hectare and that of Korean pine is about 3.7 million KRW per hectare. The stumpage prices do not cover reforestation cost, which is about 6.1 million KRW per hectare. If government subsidies did not support the cost of reforestation and silviculture, there would be no profits at all. The cost of forestry is very high in terms of planting and silviculture. In the future, the prices of logs are not predicted to rise and the wages for labor are not predicted to fall. Without reforming the current forestry regime, Korean forestry is, thus, not sustainable. Therefore, low-cost forestry efforts like natural regeneration should be adopted to make forestry viable. Investments in forestry infrastructure like forest roads are also required to decrease the timber logging and transporting costs.

The purpose of this research is to suggest economic feasibility of cultivating Acer Mono by using profitability analysis to forest owners. To achieve this research objective, forest owner household survey with intensive cultivating has been conducted about a sap production on its age of tree. And input costs and sap production costs are calculated with silvicultural system from plant to regeneration cutting. Total income is the sum of its sap sales and thinning and regeneration cutting. The method of profitability analysis was used on the NPV(Net Present Value) and IRR(internal rate of return). Finally, when 3% discount rate is applied, NPV is about 59,436 thousand won and IRR value is 9.22% at this point. This result, therefore, proves that cultivating Acer Mono is economical feasibility to forest owners.

Voice over Wireless LAN (VoWLAN) is defined as a communication service which transmits voice over wireless LAN. Due to its capability of providing high quality service while reducing communication costs, the VoWLAN is expected to be widely introduced to hospitals, hotels, and many more industry sectors. However, despite the increased interest in the new service, there has been limited research on the economic assessment of deploying VoWLAN. This paper provides a systematic and quantitative approach to the return on investment (ROI) analysis of VoWLAN service. We first analyze the domestic and international market trend of VoWLAN. Then, implementing scenarios of VoWLAN and corresponding alternatives are established. For each scenario, cost and benefit analysis is conducted. The proposed framework is implemented by using VBA program. To validate the result of the analysis, a case study is also conducted.

This paper proposes a way to a risk quantification of public sector comparator in the value-for-money test of the BTL (Build-Transfer-Lease) scheme in rail investment projects. Two principal risks that are project delay and budget increasing costs are identified and are empirically quantified with a case study of the Haman-Jinju link. The methodology suggested is expected to be a good reference for the similar research afterwards and also to help in settling down the scheme that is only an early stage.

This study examines nonpatient revenues of hospital in korea. The data source for this study was the 11 national university hospitals over the period 2008-2012. In this study, patient revenues, patient expenses, operating profit, nonpatient revenues, total revenues, ratio of the nonpatient revenues in the total revenues, operating margin, normal profit to gross revenues were analysed by the annual. The analysis of nonpatient revenue differences by management performance, bed size, location was performed. The results were as follows. Nonpatient revenues of national university hospitals were increased during the period 2008-2012. Nonpatient revenues were no significant differences by management performance. Nonpatient revenues in hospitals which are large bed size and located in big city were larger. Based on these results, this study suggests implications to diversify profitability for management performance in hospitals.

The profitability of a hospital refers to business administration results achieved through its medical care and other management activities during applicable fiscal year. This study focused on operating margin as a measurement index of hospital profitability, which is a genuine medical return obtained by subtracting medical expenses from medical profits achieved during business administration of hospital. Based on the index, this study could deduce certain factors on hospital profitability in terms of various indices affecting profitability. And based on those factors, this study sought to provide more useful reference materials which allow us to devise possible ways to improve hospital profitability. As a result, it was found that public hospitals attained lower profitability than private ones. To analyze profitability depending on each index, this study divided hospitals broadly into deficit group and surplus group. As a result, it was found that there were significant differences in hospital profitability between two groups depending upon relevant indices such as labor cost ratio, maintenance expense ratio, number of operations per medical specialist and medical instrument turnover. According to analysis on potential effects of relevant indices upon profitability, it was found that each index had its explanatory power ranging from 25% to 74.5% depending on given model.

It has been recognized that implementing the marginal price mechanism to CBP is not acceptable due to the lack of revenue of the marginal generators. This study shows that it is not the problem of marginal price mechanism but the structural problems originated by the suspension of restructuring, the technical limits of RSC program and inaccuracy of the generation cost estimation method. This study explains the method to calculate the cost function in operating modes of the CC generators and proposes the modeling for the CC generators in RSC program. To implementing the cost function in operating modes could give an opportunity to change the price setting mechanism from average to marginal cost. The price setting mechanism based on the marginal cost will be one of the main points to provide the right price signals and to introduce a real-time and A/S markets to prepare the energy transition era.
