Investment and financial analysis--2. coal prep financing and revenue estimation
A discussion of various methods used to finance coal preparation plants covers the conventional carve-out arrangement that allows a charitable organization to make an investment and receive tax-sheltered income; leasing to accumulate the benefits of depreciation or investment tax credits in the hands of a lessor better able to use them than the mining company; financing packages structured as tax-sheltered investments for groups of sophisticated investors; risks associated with such investments due to later changes in the energy markets, prices, taxes, etc.; and the importance and often uncertain character of transportation costs, with one graph showing 1970 transportation costs for trainload quantities (8000 tons) vs. distance, and a second graph giving the price index for total railroad freight for the period 1969-1977.
