User's manual for RATEPAC: a digital-computer program for revenue requirements and rate-impact analysis
The RATEPAC computer program is designed to model the financial aspects of an electric power plant or other investment requiring capital outlays and having annual operating expenses. The program produces incremental pro forma financial statements showing how an investment will affect the overall financial statements of a business entity. The code accepts parameters required to determine capital investment and expense as a function of time and sums these to determine minimum revenue requirements (cost of service). The code also calculates present worth of revenue requirements and required return on rate base. This user's manual includes a general description of the code as well as the instructions for input data preparation. A complete example case is appended.
