This study was conducted to investigate the effect of hydropower factors (watershed, gross head), operation ratio and unit electricity cost on the benefit-cost ratio (B/C ratio) of small hydropower using agricultural reservoirs. The equation of B/C ratio was expressed as a function of watershed area, gross head, operation ratio and unit electricity cost. The benefit increased with watershed area, gross head and unit electricity cost, while the cost increased with watershed area and gross head but decreased with operation ratio. The B/C ratio increased with watershed area, gross head, operation ratio and unit electricity cost. While the effect of gross head on the B/C ratio decreased with watershed area, the effect of operation ratio and unit electricity cost on the B/C ratio increased with watershed area. The operation ratio is an important factor to affect the B/C ratio and therefore we need to develop hydropower for the heightened dams to expect high operation ratio due to continuous water release. The unit electricity cost is also an important factor to affect the B/C ratio and the B/C ratio was always below 1 unless unit electricity cost is over 60 Won/kWh under given conditions. The reservoirs with economic feasibility for small hydropower development were three in 21 when the equation of B/C ratio was appled to the study reservoirs. The results can be used to choose the appropriate reservoir with economic feasibility for development of small hydropower.

In the defense acquisition, a company's goal is to maximize profits, and the government's goal is to allocate budgets efficiently. Each year, the government estimates the ratio of indirect cost sector to defense companies, and estimates the ratio to be applied when calculating cost of the defense articles next year. The defense industry environment is changing rapidly, due to the increasing trend of defense acquisition budgets, the advancement of weapon systems, the effects of the 4th industrial revolution, and so on. As a result, the cost structure of defense companies is being diversifying. The purpose of this study is to find an alternative that can enhance the rationality of the current methodology for estimating the ratio of indirect cost sector of defense companies. To do this, we conducted data analysis using the R language on the cost data of defense companies over the past six years in the Defense Integrated Cost System. First, cluster analysis was conducted on the cost characteristics of defense companies. Then, we conducted a regression analysis of the relationship between direct and indirect costs for each cluster to see how much it reflects the cost structure of defense companies in direct labor cost-based indirect cost rate estimates. Lastly a new ratio prediction model based on regularized regression analysis was developed, applied to each cluster, and analyzed to compare performance with existing prediction models. According to the results of the study, it is necessary to estimate the indirect cost ratio based on the cost character group of defense companies, and the direct labor cost based indirect cost ratio estimation partially reflects the cost structure of defense companies. In addition, the current indirect cost ratio prediction method has a larger error than the new model.

Due to the deterioration of water supply network and the deficiency of raw water, the water utility of local governments have performed various projects to improve their revenue water ratio. However, it is very difficult to estimate the cost for maintaining the revenue water ratio at higher level after completing the project, because local governments have different conditions affecting the operating and maintenance cost of water supply network. The purpose of this study is to present a procedure to estimate the operating and maintenance cost required to maintain the target revenue water ratio of the water supply network. For this purpose, we estimated the cost used only for operation and maintenance of water supply network of 164 local governments with the aid of K-Mean Clustering Analysis and the data from 40 representative local governments. Then, the regression analysis was performed to find relationship between revenue water ratio and the operating and maintenance cost with two different data sets generated by two classification methods; the first method classifies the local governments by means of k-means clustering, and the other classifies the local governments according to the index standardized by the operating and maintenance cost per unit length of water mains per revenue water ratio. The results shows that the method based on the index standardized by the cost and revenue water ratio of each government produces more reliable results for finding regression equations between revenue water ratio and the operating and maintenance cost only for water supply network. The estimated regression equations for each group can be used to estimate the cost required to keep the target revenue water ratio of the local government.

Environmental pressures from such sources an economic condition, the government and inter-institutional competition create managerial challenges. Economic pressures may be forcing dietetic dept, in hospital to utilize cost∙benefit analysis to assist them in their problem solving. Cost∙benefit analysis have been widely used in business, industry and many other fields with only limited application to foodservice. Due to the lack or this information the purposes of this study were to identify use of cost∙benefit analysis in hospital foodservice system to evaluate the economic efficiency of alternatives, and to make recommendation for operation system change. Using the cost∙benefit method, cash flows are separated into cost and benefits. For an alternative to be selected, indicators, such as NPV, benefit-cost ratio (B/C ratio) with 5% discount rate per annum. The sensitivity analysis was also conducted with difference rate 3%, 7% respectively and reduced employee payroll change. The result of this study can be summarized as follows : 1. The total cost of investment for operation system change was 390,570 thousand won and the total benefit through operation system change was 865,808 thousand won. 2. Net present value(NPV) for 5 years was 475,239 thousand won and benefit-cost ratio was 2.22. 3. In sensitivity analysis with different discount rate 3%, 7%, benefit-cost ratio was 2.25, 2.18 respectively, with total reduced employee payroll change, benefit-cost ratio was 2.86. In conclusion, total benefits were exceeded total costs. Therefore, the project of operation system change in hospital foodservice was found to be economically efficient.

In order to draw indirect cost rates, theories of indirect cost were investigated, and recent field data were collected from steel factories. As a result, it was found that the ratio of indirect labor productivity compared to the direct labor ratio was approximately 17% and the ratio of indirect cost compared to direct cost was approximately 93%. Furthermore, 'The economy of construction industry' and 'size of steel factory' were found to be influence factors of the indirect cost ratio.

고속도로 신설 및 확장공사는 국가의 기반시설을 설치하기 위한 대규모 공공사업으로 정확한 산출근거에 의해 공사비용을 산정하여 적정 예산을 책정하여야 한다. 그러나 현재 고속도로 신설 침 확장공사의 구조물 해체 비용은 단지 구조물 설치 비용에 표준품셈에 명기된 일정 비율($10\~70\%$)을 곱하여 산정되고 있다. 해체 비용 산정에 이용되고 있는 표준품셈 상의 일정 비율은 과거 실적데이터를 기반으로 구축된 것이 아니라 해외 산정방식을 참고로 공사 관리자의 주관적 경험을 적용하여 도출된 것이다. 설치비에 일정비율을 곱하여 해체 비용을 산정하는 기존 방식은 프로젝트의 특성 및 건설현장의 주변 여건을 고려할 수 없으므로 노무량 및 장비 투임량의 변화를 고려할 수 없는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 다양한 현장 조사 및 실측을 통한 해체 공사비 원가 분석을 수행하여 구조물 해체를 위한 적정원가 산정기준을 제시하고 기존 비율단가 적용방식의 적정성을 검토하고자 한다.

The safety inspection cost of the construction work was based on commercial facilities classified as a single building. Therefore, it is not possible to fully reflect the characteristics of the multi-building construction project such as apartment houses. Therefore, this study suggests a reasonable estimation model that can fully reflect the characteristics of the multi-building construction project. The safety inspection cost estimation model proposed two models such as construction cost ratio method and cost plus fixed fee method. And these models were simulated by the apartment construction work and compared with the current standard. As a result, the current construction cost ratio method has shown that the safety inspection cost tends to be overestimated as the construction size increases. Therefore, the proposed model has reflected characteristics of the multi-building construction project, so that it can reasonably estimate the safety inspection cost more than the current standard.

This paper investigates the optimal ratio of the ex post cost settled in the total cost paid to the facility-operating agent and the size of compensation for demand promotion efforts made by the trustee. We have extended McAfee and McMillan(1986)'s principal-agent model by incorporating incentives for the demand promotion efforts. We show that cost reducing effort is negatively related with the ratio of the ex post cost settled in the total cost. In addition, the optimal level of demand promotion effort is determined by the size of the compensation and the ratio of the ex post cost settled. A simulation study confirms our findings from a theoretical model.

The standard for the cost calculation in the field of domestic construction engineering can be largely divided into the construction cost ratio method and the actual cost addition method. However, the standard for calculating the cost of the construction cost ratio method is a trend to switch to the actual cost addition method due to limitations such as not reflecting the characteristics of the construction. Therefore, this study aims to derive implications by investigating and analyzing examples of cost standards in the field of overseas construction engineering, such as the United States, and deriving directions for improvement in domestic cost standards in the future.
