Economic feasibility study of the implementation of a waste recycling plant construction in Pato Branco city, Paraná, using the multi-index methodology extended

ABSTRACT

This paper analyzed the economic feasibility of installing a construction waste recycling plant, through the return expectations and risks associated with its implementation. The investment analysis study was performed using multi-index methodology via the web system $LV€P. A stochastic analysis also was performed using the Monte Carlo simulation, in order to further analyze the risks involved in the project. The results showed that there is low risk and economic feasibility in implementation of this plant, because the probability of the Net Present Value NPV to be zero is less than 0.22%. The performed preliminary analysis showed that the decision to invest in this project is presented as a good investment option, and its implementation is recommended because it is a project with the possibility of a good financial return.
