Recurring Costs

Namibians Install Innovative Solar System for Brewery

News Analysis:  Efficient Solar Energy, if used in conjunction with advanced Electrical Storage Technologies, will provide manufacturers ‘Around the Clock’ Electricity. The ‘up-front’ Non-Recurring Costs [when amortized over the project life] conjoined with the ‘De Minimis’ Recurring Costs, can save manufacturers a great deal of money over time.

The “Cleanliness” of Solar Energy, along with its projected five-billion-year lifespan energy source, make it very attractive environmentally.

As Solar Cell Technology improves, energy output will increase and  “Cost-to-Produce” elements will abate.

If Too Expensive, Build Them Yourselves

News Analysis: Once the ‘Non-Recurring Costs’ [NRC] of establishing a shipyard have been paid for, the ‘Recurring Costs’ [RC] of labor and material, energy, etc. on an individual build should be significantly less than merely purchasing a ‘New Build’ from another Shipyard. Amortized NRC and unit RC amounts should be less than the competition’s price. Since new vessels can be built for others, ‘Learning Curve” efficiencies and bulk material buying can further reduce ship construction costs even further over extended time. If financially able, this is a good methodology for a country.
